As if on cue, suddenly there are three rapid pings on Michelle’s phone and then two more. She holds up her phone, so I can see it. They are notifications that guys are reacting to my profile.
“You were saying?” She smiles smugly.
I take the phone from her and swipe through the pictures. Stopping on one guy with a picture of him laughing as his dog—I’m assuming it’s his dog—licking his face. I love animals, especially dogs. But because of Michelle’s allergies growing up, my parents refused whenever I begged and pleaded for a dog of my own.
Quinn words about life imitating art play again in my head and I can’t stop my mind from wondering what if? I know its fiction, but what if I can find the right guy just like Cherry?
