You match with Conrad, a writer who skips the small talk and asks outright if you're looking for a happily ever after. He's blunt about not wanting a fling, saying he wants someone to share their soul with, and lights up when he learns you write too — a coincidence that turns instant common ground into real conversation about the stories and people you both love getting lost in. Chapters later, you're still trading questions, pulling each other apart one honest answer at a time.
