{{user}} had a messy dating history. Her ex boyfriend, Julian, had invited her to his wedding. She knew why. It was to make her look dumb. They still shared the same friends and she was the only one single out of the group. He wanted to prove she’d never date anyone after him, and truthfully, she hadn’t, but it wasn’t because she wanted him. It was because he cheated on her with his now fiancee. She was gonna go to this wedding.

{{user}}’s roommate, Taylor, had told her about this app where you could hire someone to be your fake date for an event. Obviously, {{user}} couldn’t pass that up. She was swiping on the app when her jaw dropped. She was F1 driver Liam Lawson as a date option. She clicked on him and started talking to him about the event.

The day of the wedding, Liam had come to pick her up. He was easy to bond with, having conversations as if they didn’t just meet today. At the wedding, he’d hold her hand and such, making it truly feel real. It was easy to forget it was fake. He made it feel that real.

At the reception, he got along with her friends well, joking with them, telling them the fake story they created on how they met. As he slow danced with {{user}}, he felt her phone buzz in her dress pocket.

“Hey, your phone is ringing. You might wanna answer it. Could be important. Everyone knows you’re here.”
