My mom absolutely loved the crap out of WhatsApp. She
didn’t know how to text, but she could do anything on
WhatsApp—including sending me a half dozen pictures of the
guy she and my dad had chosen for me. And by chosen, I
meant the one guy who had even agreed to meet me. Which
was a feat in itself, to be honest. He must not have heard about
me.
Now my parents were convinced that he was the one,
because he’d been the only one to not turn and run from the
mere whisper of the name Liya Thakkar.
I had absolutely zero interest in allowing my father to
arrange my marriage to anyone. While my friends may have
ended up in perfectly content matches, I couldn’t give in to the
archaic practice of this whole arranged marriage business. Or
marriage in general. Or commitment, for that matter. No.
Freaking. Thank. You.
If I wanted to answer to a man for the rest of my life, I’d
just live with my father. Thanks to a culture where our
twenties meant draconian aunties swooping in to play
matchmaker, I had to battle the nauseating notion of lifelong
commitment.
Speaking of the devil from whose loins I came, Dad’s name
flashed across my cell phone screen for the twentieth time this
week, but I muted the ringer. This was likely another demand
that I meet this suitor he’d so precisely picked. After all, as
one of his multiple voicemails pointed out, finding a qualified
man who would even consider me had been a strenuous five-
year hunt. Given my reputation and all. We had to act fast to
secure this guy before another woman lured him away. I mean,
hell, let her drag him away. It would make my life that much
easier.
Yet…here I was, at my parents’ house because Momma
promised this was just an ordinary dinner, just the three of us,
and nothing more.
I checked the rearview mirror of my gray Lexus as I drove
to their house in the Woodlands on the outskirts of Houston.
The car had been a gift to myself, a reminder of how far I’d
come and all that I’d accomplished, including my recent
promotion. Also, it was physical proof that I didn’t need a man
to take care of me.
The sun was out, but the towering tree canopy shaded
almost every inch of my parents’ charming street. When the
houses were built years ago, the developer made a point to cut
down as few trees as possible, thus pairing fairly
contemporary homes with as much untouched nature as
possible.
Even though I hadn’t always enjoyed spending time with
my parents growing up, I loved the neighborhood, and the
nostalgia thrust me back to all those mornings running with
other kids—the wind in my hair, the faint smell of cedar and
cypress trees, and the giggles of girls.
Nostalgia was the past. The present held a different
