Chapter 1

After seven blind dates, all seven men ran away.

They all ran off to chase my cousin, Vivian.

My eighth blind date sent me a message at midnight: "Does Vivian have contact info for all your blind dates? She added me first."

A screenshot followed.

In the screenshot, Vivian's message to him read: "Just so you know, Peyton has a history of mental illness. Her family's keeping it under wraps. Be careful."

I asked the previous seven men that same night. Vivian had told them all the same thing.

I saved the screenshots and kept quiet.

When the monthly family gathering came around, she walked in arm-in-arm with my sixth blind date. The entire table of relatives stood and applauded.

Linda, my aunt, patted my hand with a sigh. "Peyton, you should learn from Vivian. Look how good she is at picking men."

I smiled and nodded. "You're right. I should learn from her."

Then I picked up my wine glass and stood. "Vivian, in front of the whole family today, there's something I'd like to ask you."

"You sent messages to all eight men. How come only one of them wanted you?"
