Lucy looked down at her cell phone, bottom lip between her teeth. Her eyes shifting to the small card Mirajane gave her last night after their study group at the college library. She knew the woman was only looking out for her. And that it was about time she put herself back out there into the dating pool. But, frankly, Lucy was terrified. It had been two years since she had dated.

And for the life of her, a blind dating service was not how she figured she'd get back into the whole dating scene. Then again, apparently, it was not that she lacked interested people. Male and female. Since thanks to her last beau, she had come to like both men and women as a partner.

At the thought of her high school sweetheart and fiancee, she pressed her eyes shut to fight off the wave of pain that still popped up at thinking of him. Not having realized that he was a manipulative ass. He'd played her all because she had believed she loved him. And it was all her father's idea to tie their two families together.

Sighing as she forced the pain away, Lucy went back to looking between her cell and the card again. It couldn't hurt to try. And the success rate was supposedly very accurate in their matching based on how their questions were answered. It just bothered her that she had to do it by phone, instead of via the internet like all the other date groups.

Then again Mirajane had never steered her wrong. The sweet woman, while a chronic matchmaker, was honest and helpful to a fault. Though scary as fuck when she was mad.

"I guess it is now or never," she thought to herself and dialed the number on the card under the company's name, 'Dial 1'.
