Every great love story has a beginning—ours just happens to involve a lost bet, and a little bit of luck (okay, and a dating app). Haley and her friends have always loved playing a game called “Odds.” The rules are simple: someone dares you (“What are the odds you’ll _____?”), you bravely set your odds (“1 in 10!”), then both people count down and say a number. If you say the same number, you’re stuck with the dare. If your numbers add up, your friend has to do it. (Yes, we know, high stakes.) One night, while looking over her roommate Constance's dating app likes, Haley saw a familiar face. A friend from college sent Constance a 'like'! “What are the odds you match with this guy who went to Baylor with me?” "That's not fair. You don't even have dating apps," Constance complained. Haley scoffed—feeling a little too cocky in her victory streak, she brushed it off: “Yeah, yeah, whatever. If I lose, I’ll just re-download one and go out with the first guy I match with.” Spoiler alert: She lost. But, Constance didn’t discover this until the next day. Math is not her strong suit. Constance burst into Haley’s room: “IT ADDS UP!!” Busted. So, a grudging Haley re-downloaded Bumble and set her standards: - Must be a Christian - Has to be taller than her (not too hard—she’s 5’3) - Non-smoker/drug-free - Have a sense of humor - Active - Bonus points if he’s not from Colorado What happened next? The likes came FLYING in (hehe, kidding). But after a little swiping, one profile in particular caught her eye: Chimere. She swiped right, and the rest…well, you’re here, so you know how the story goes. ❤️
