In the end, I Promise DID match me with my perfect man. A man I adore.
After the trial, Raina and Sanjay got coffee together. Then dinner. Then breakfast.
I Promise did survive and eventually Riley rehired his family. Of course under the condition they will never send another client to jail and that I Promise brand wasn’t skyscrapers and super models but helping people find a home. A family. However they define it.
Riley also hired his friend Dennis. And Raina, who has them all next-level organized.
It didn’t take long for my CEO to realize who was actually doing all the work Marco took credit for. Soon after, Marco himself was released back into the wild. They offered me his position. I accepted…as long as they paid me exactly one dollar more than he made.
Riley became an important member of our zombie strike team. And a few more members joined, too. Business boomed after Dirk’s media blitz. Apparently not that many people come out, go back in, then come out again in a courtroom. Love is love and we all need help finding it.
Me, I learned to forgive. I learned that even though something hurts, I can’t hide from it. That I too have to shed my old skin if I want to grow. And I learned that words really do matter. With that in mind, please listen to these words.
From one unmatchable to another. Don’t tuck away your weirdness for anyone. Someone is out there, waiting for you. And they will love you–not in spite of how you really are, but because of it.
I promise.
