‘Dad?!’ I gasp.
This cannot be happening! I look between my phone and out my window in my car. Here I thought while I have a quiet five minutes in my car before work, I’ll try swiping left and right to find the one - such an innocent thought. This is not what I expected to see at 7.15am on a Monday morning.
Now I know mum and dad have been split for a few months now, but why the hell is he comi...

Warning: some swear words appear in this story.
Well, this is awkward, I think to myself. I’ve spent the last half hour answering what felt like endless questions on the latest and greatest dating app. The ink is barely dry on my divorce papers, but I’m not getting any younger. That’s why I’m sitting her being grilled by an app.

All the profiles about work, sports, and dogs inspired Cassandra to dig out her grave. She was just about to switch off her computer when she came across an anonymous profile with a very brief summary. It said,
“Looking for a worthy adversary to fulfill my villainley needs. Must be clever, quick, and nauseatingly principled. Oh and I also prefer brunettes. I fall in love with blondes too e...
Clarise Miller gawked at the phone she clutched tightly in her shaking hands. “There’s no way,” she mumbled aloud, not caring if anyone else in her classroom heard her. How could this be real?
