Matchmaker Mayhem

Ava Lee is a fierce 28-year-old with a reputation as the go-to wedding planner for modern lovebirds. But when her grandmother, the legendary matchmaker Mei Lee, decides to retire, Ava is roped into managing her old-school matchmaking service as a favor. Skeptical about Mei’s “fate over algorithms” approach, Ava begins mixing modern tech (swipe-right dating apps) with Mei’s unconventional methods, leading to unexpected results—and disasters. The real problem? Divorce lawyer Ryan Kim, who keeps sabotaging Ava’s matches under the guise of “saving people from heartbreak.” Forced to collaborate with Ryan to save a failing matchmaking project, Ava discovers there’s more to his cynical view of love—and to her own guarded heart.

Chapter 35: The Grand Gesture

Ava had faced a lot of bizarre situations in her life as a matchmaker—clients sabotaging their own relationships, surprise engagements in completely inappropriate venues, and that one time a bride tried to swap grooms mid-ceremony. But nothing could have prepared her for Ryan Kim showing up in her office lobby holding a crumpled paper bag of bagels and the kind of expression usually reserved for court depositions or root canals.

Kelly appeared behind her like a caffeinated shadow, leaning dramatically over Ava's shoulder. "Oh my God, is he holding… carbs?" she whispered, her voice dripping with mock horror.

"Don't start," Ava muttered, clutching her coffee as though it might shield her from the oncoming disaster.

"No, seriously," Kelly whispered, her grin widening. "I think this might be his version of a grand romantic gesture. Like when guys in movies hold up signs or play guitars outside windows. Except, you know, instead of music or flowers… it's bread."
