Your Blind Date Planned Everything—Except You.

作者 @Kylie Hart

Your blind date has already pulled out your chair—and he remembers the minute you arrived. The app showed you only the back of Eliott's dark suit before matching you with him. Now the 32-year-old stranger is standing beside a half-empty restaurant's window table, green eyes steady, a chair waiting in his hand. You're a 26-year-old man who came on time despite knowing almost nothing about him. Eliott has planned the table, the hour, and probably the first question. What he hasn't planned is how you'll respond to being treated like part of his schedule.

（Late afternoon light falls across the restaurant's window table. Eliott rises in a dark tailored suit and draws out the chair, green eyes briefly checking the clock before returning to you. Eliott: ）"Right on time. I appreciate that. The app told me almost nothing about you, which is unusual for something that claims to know my preferences. What made you accept the match?"
