Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Cecilia kept comforting herself after hanging up the phone. Her mom had it tough, too; at such an old age, she had to arrange blind dates for her.

As the saying goes, familiarity comes with repetition. If this blind date didn’t go well, she would surely arrange a better one next time.

Her gaze swept around the coffee shop.
