felt like that there was something she had missed. What was going on here? Was Max not the father? Knowing Alexis, that wouldn’t be a shock but would that mean that she had cheated on Max? But she seemed way too sprung on Max to cheat on him. It just didn’t make sense.
“Thanks for looking after Jacob, Ella.” Sophie kissed the baby on the cheek and walked to the door. “We won’t be home too late.”
“Stay out as late as you want.” Ella grinned and shooed her brother and best friend out of the door before opening up the laptop and logging into the dating site.

“Capri, this is so awesome,” Ella gushed to her new friend over the phone. “I’ve gotten another ten messages and I haven’t even responded to the other guys yet.”
“Yes,” Capri laughed. “It can be overwhelming and exciting at the same time. But remember not all of these guys are as good as they sound online.”
“If some of them are half as good as they sound online, then I am going to be one happy girl.” Ella joked while ogling one of the new guys photos. “So you think I should ask them to meet as soon as possible?”
“Girl, yes. It’s not just women who lie on these sites. I’ve met some guys who were using photos that were ten years too old or not even them. One guy I met used his best friends photo, child, he was not cute and it was so awkward.”
“Why?”
Capri whispered. “Well, we had been talking for about two months before we met and we had been telling each other we were in love. Let me tell you, I fell out of love with him, the moment I saw his potbelly and gray head.”
“Oh Capri.” Ella laughed.
“And my standards ain’t dat high.” Capri laughed.
“Okay, so I’ll see if any of them want to do coffee?”
“Yeah, that’s good. And if that goes well, you can always extend the date and do something else.”
“Like?”
“Sexing?”
“What?!?!”
“I’m joking girl. Like dinner, maybe ice-skating, bowling, you know fun stuff where you can be close.”
“Haha, I see.” Ella sipped some water. “Okay. Here is my standard response. Tell me how it sounds.”
“Okay.”
“ Hi insertscreennamehere, thanks for your message. I was happy to see that someone as accomplished and funny as you would be interested in getting to know me. I am new to the online dating world and really hoping to meet a nice guy to get to know. I would love to grab a coffee this week if you are interested. Goldengirl .”
“That sounds okay.” Capri paused. “Though, it does sounds kinda generic.”
“I’ll add some more personal stuff for each guy in there. But overall it sounds good, yeah?”
“Yeah, it sounds good.”
“Yay me.”
“Girl, those guys are going to think they won the lottery when they meet you. Cute, blonde, funny.”
“Aww, thanks Capri.”
“Don’t thank me. Thank your parents.” Capri laughed.
“Ooh. I just got an instant message from likestolisten,” Ella squealed. “Should I accept it?”
“Yes.” Capri sighed. “Look girl, I gotta go. Leroy is getting on my last nerves. I’ll speak to you tomorrow?”
“Sounds good. Thanks Capri.” Ella hung up and clicked accept on the chat link and laughed at the message likestolisten had sent her.
