Closed starter for @arnavxkhanna Location: Bubble Time
Val stared down at the honeydew milk tea in front of him, absentmindedly stirring the boba pearls with his straw as he repeated himself. “So, let me get this straight. My mom hired you? To do what exactly?”
He leaned back in his seat, sizing up the man across from him. The whole situation felt surreal. Val’s mom had meddled in his love life (or lack thereof) plenty of times before—there was the time she tried to set him up with her dentist’s niece, then whole saga where she insisted he take dance classes to ‘meet new people’, and it seemed like every good looking person that walked into the bakery was a contestant for his mom's version of the Bachelor for him—but this? Hiring a matchmaker?
"I'm sorry. I afraid she might've wasted your time..." he then mumbled.
