CHAPTER 1 — THE PERFECT MATCH
Lucy built her career in New York by helping lonely people find “the one.” As a successful matchmaker, she could calculate compatibility almost like mathematics. Yet when it came to her own heart, she was completely lost.
Then Harry appeared.
He was wealthy, elegant, confident, and seemingly perfect. He had a beautiful apartment, an impressive career, and everything Lucy wanted in a partner. Everyone told her she had finally found her ideal match.
Then John returned.
John was Lucy’s ex, a struggling actor who still loved her. He had no fortune or luxurious lifestyle. Yet whenever Lucy was with him, she laughed naturally.
Caught between security and passion, Lucy tried to make a logical choice.
One evening, Harry asked her to choose him.
Lucy stared at him silently.
For the first time, the woman who matched everyone else realized she couldn't even match herself.
CHAPTER 2 — THE PRICE OF PERFECTION
Lucy decided to give Harry a chance.
They attended glamorous parties, visited expensive restaurants, and moved through Manhattan together. Friends congratulated Lucy on finding such an extraordinary man.
Yet something important was missing between them.
