Success doesn't equate happiness. I've had to learn that the hard way over the years. With every disappointment, every let down, every heartbreak, my solution was to just achieve something. Gain a new award, a higher accolade, a bigger position. The distractions only work temporarily, but once it dies down you realize that you're left with just you. You realize that you're still alone, still a failure in other aspects of life, and still hiding from the past. My name is Brynn. I got married at nineteen to my college sweetheart, and at the age of twenty four I found myself packing up and leaving him in the middle of the night. During that ungodly hour is when everything starts to hit you, when everything begins to resurface. My husband never attempted to come after me, never even attempted to reach out to me. Yet I still find myself going to sleep with him on my mind. I can still feel his touch if I dream hard enough. I still find myself keeping up with his social media, following his life from a distance. Only in that ungodly hour do I let my fantasies roam free and allow myself to miss him. I allow myself to still love him, still care for him. As long as I know that once morning hits it's back to business, back to being distracted, and back to being alone.

Elite Connections started off as a business proposal for Arya's senior project. She had been nicknamed the matchmaking friend throughout high school and decided to plan out an idea company, not knowing that this proposal would carry her through college and become the most exclusive matchmaking service in the world. What made Elite Connections stand out compared to the other services is that it was fully anonymous, there was an income minimum for both men and women, and the match was all based on compatibility tests. Arya believed that blind love did exist which is why none of her clients are allowed to see each other until they're walking down the aisle at their wedding. After receiving the stamp of approval from tech mogul, James Christensen, business had skyrocketed to the point of having a year long waitlist for potential clients. With a one hundred percent success rate it was easy for Arya to raise her service package minimum to fifty grand - the most exclusive package being priced at half a million dollars. Everything in Arya's life was going perfect. That is until James Christensen's grandson, Ethan, enters Elite Connections to be matched.
