The first rule of matchmaking - trust your instincts.
When top chef Jake Sinclair steps into the fortune teller's waiting room for his monthly reading, he hadn't anticipated a delay, or that the delay would be for him.
The fortune teller is expecting someone.
Several minutes later, Ebony enters the shop. It's the last place she wants to be on a Friday night, but her Aunt - a master matchmaker - has ordered Ebony to seek council about her failing career. Even Ebony can't deny the truth. She is a terrible matchmaker. No, make that the worst matchmaker in history.
As for her own love life, that was over some time ago, and Ebony has taken up a 'strictly no men' vow. But she has never been in a waiting room with Jake...

"Here's the thing though . . ." He trails off thoughtfully and then he looks straight at me. His eyes are steely and that makes me realise the fundamental difference between the young Ryan and this Ryan. He's hardened now. The sweet boy I once knew is probably still in there somewhere but life eventually got to him and he had to toughen up. "I need someone I can rely on. I don't want to take a person on who just decides it's too much hassle a few days or weeks in and just . . . Ghosts me." He finishes. There's a definite challenge there. He's not just talking about the job. He's getting a dig in there about the way I disappeared out of his life. As well as implying I'm generally unreliable . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iona Stewart is pretty sure she's having a premature midlife crisis.
