Grace Goodwin - Matched and Mated

“Okay. But are you sure about this? Once you sign up, you can’t take it back. It’s a totally legal, binding contract. You’ll be married… mated, whatever, as soon as you take the test.”

I squeezed her one more time and stepped back. “I know, but it’s been over a month and you said Brax was back in town. He didn’t even bother to call. It’s time to move on. I want a real mate. I’m ready for a grown-up relationship. I’m tired of casual sex. And I’m tired of sitting by the phone, waiting for a call that never comes.”

“They don’t have phones here.”

“Whatever. You know what I mean. I’m tired of being that girl.”

“But you’re drunk.”

“Girlfriend, it takes more than two glasses of wine. I can drink you under the table, remember?” It was my turn to laugh.

“Right. I forgot.” Natalie was smiling, too.

“Besides, I’m not driving a car, I’m getting bride tested. And right now feels like the perfect time to do something insane.”

Natalie took my wine glass and set it next to hers on the counter. “Okay, girlfriend. First, we’re going to get you some coffee.”

We hit up the S-Gen machine and I waited for the caffeine jolt to kick in. When I was a hundred and ten percent sure I was sober, I met her gaze and nodded. I was done with waiting around, second guessing and hoping for what I couldn’t have. It was time to get matched to my perfect mate. If he was on Trion, great. If not? So be it. I’d miss Natalie and the kids, but that’s what comms were for. “Ready.”

“Okay. Let’s do this.” She placed her arm around my shoulder and walked me to the processing center to be matched to my perfect mate. She leaned in close as we approached the door to the medical center where the testing would take place. “And I won’t say a word about the wine.”
