"You might be surprised. Alex is a big deal in his field. Heard he's even part of a team that developed a new drug saving loads of neuroblastoma patients!"

"He's a specialist in that?" I responded, taken aback.

"Exactly! Why else do you think I set you two up? He's a hot ticket in the medical world."

After the call, I stared blankly at Alex's WhatsApp profile picture for a long while.

Eventually, I typed out a message, "Hey, sorry to disturb..."

No way, you promised... you'd marry me.
