Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

“You said it was boring when the date was set at the restaurant yesterday. No matter how it’s done, you’ll find something to criticize. Do you just not want to go on a blind date?” Phoebe asked.

Valarie pursed her lips. “I don’t want to. If it weren’t for you guys pushing me, I wouldn’t even consider it.”
