Mom
I'm the best aunt in the world!
Emma
Mom, no! I told you not to try to find someone for Sarah.
Mom
You know, it'd be nice if someone respected me for my talents.
Emma
Mom, you're going to embarrass her.
Mom
Oh, hush. I don't have to take this. Sarah is much nicer to me when we text.
Mom
I'm texting her instead.
Auntie Carol
Who’s ready for a boyfriend??? 😍
Sarah
Hi, Aunt Carol. Emma and Carrie warned me that you might text.
Auntie Carol
My amazing matchmaking skills are all the buzz!
Sarah
Emma and Carrie seem happy with the guys you found for them, but…
Sarah
Really, I’m not looking for a guy right now.
Auntie Carol
Oh, honey please. Every girl is ALWAYS looking for a guy right now.
Sarah
Not me. I promise you, I’m not looking.
Auntie Carol
That’s why I’m here! To look FOR you!
Sarah
And where are you exactly?
Auntie Carol
I know you like to read, so I’m at the bookstore!
Sarah
That’s nice of you, but I’m just trying to focus on my career.
Auntie Carol
And I’m trying to work on my future career as a matchmaker.
Sarah
Please don’t talk to any guys.
Auntie Carol
I’m already here…
Auntie Carol
Let’s just see what we can find!
Sarah
Aunt Carol! I said no.
Auntie Carol
Ooooooh! Lookiee lookie Mr. Bookie over in the travel section.
Auntie Carol
Maybe he’d like to travel to Sarah-ville. Let’s go find out!
Auntie Carol
How would you like to travel to Vietnam?
Sarah
Is this a serious question?
Auntie Carol
VERY serious.
Auntie Carol
Don’t be silly. With Matthew.
Sarah
Who’s Matthew? 🤷♀️
Auntie Carol
The hottie in the travel section. Keep up.
Auntie Carol
Matthew is super cute and is leaving on a three-month trip to Vietnam.
Auntie Carol
I could introduce you two. Maybe you’ll hit it off and you can go with him!
Auntie Carol
Although he’s leaving in two days so the timing might be a little tight.
Auntie Carol
I can give him your number for when he returns.
Auntie Carol
Well, bon voyage, Matthew. Who else do we have in here?
Sarah
We don’t really need anyone else.
Auntie Carol
Your mother told me that you haven’t had a boyfriend in two years.
Auntie Carol
We’re finding someone else.
Sarah
Has it really been that long?
Auntie Carol
It’s been that long.
Auntie Carol
I hooked up your cousins with some hot guys. Want me to keep looking for you?
Sarah
Well, if you’re already there…
Auntie Carol
That’s what I wanted to hear! Let’s look around.
Auntie Carol
Oooooh, hello, Mr. Book Boyfriend.
Auntie Carol
Sarah, you have GOT to see this guy!
Auntie Carol
He should be on the cover of a romance novel.
Sarah
I refuse to date a man with long hair.
Auntie Carol
Short hair, hard body…Sarah, you’re going to fall in love with him.
Auntie Carol
I’ll sneak a picture for you.
Sarah
Please don’t take a picture!
Sarah receives a blurry picture of a green eye.
Auntie Carol
Va-va-va-vooooom! Right?
Sarah
Aunt Carol, that’s your eye.
Auntie Carol
Oh, I had the setting on backward 🤦♀️
Auntie Carol
Why do they make these camera phones so darn complicated?
Sarah
Probably to stop aunts from embarrassing their favorite nieces.
Auntie Carol
Well then, mission accomplished!
Auntie Carol
Don’t be rude.
Auntie Carol
Keep it up and I won’t talk to Mr. Book Boyfriend for you.
Auntie Carol
No. I’m talking to him.
Auntie Carol
Ready for the scoop-da-loop?
Auntie Carol
His name is Dylan and he’s a writer for a men’s magazine. JQ or something…
Auntie Carol
No, I’m pretty sure it was JQ.
Sarah
What book was he buying?
Auntie Carol
Of Rats and Men or something boring like that. He seems decent besides his horrible taste in books.
Sarah
Of Mice and Men??? I LOVE John Steinbeck.
Auntie Carol
Oh right, I forgot you’re a famous book editor now 🤓
Auntie Carol
Not for long! I’ll go tell him all about you!
Sarah
Wait! What are you going to say???
Sarah
What are you going to tell him???
Auntie Carol
I gave him your number.
Sarah
What??? What happened?
Auntie Carol
It wasn’t easy. He almost called security on me.
Auntie Carol
I like a guy who plays hard to get.
Sarah
What happened exactly?
Auntie Carol
Oh no, here comes the security guard.
Auntie Carol
Oooooh he’s cute! I’ll ask if he’s single. You like security guards, right?
A minute later, Sarah gets a text from Dylan.
Sarah
Editor, yes. Famous, not so much.
Dylan
Haha. That’s not what your aunt said. She said you were the Elvis of the literary world.
Sarah
Yeah, well, she’s the Elvis of the stick-my-nose-in-your-business world.
Dylan
Haha, I can see that!
Sarah
So, I hear you’re a Steinbeck fan?
Dylan
Old John? I love him.
Sarah
And a writer for GQ? Pretty impressive.
Dylan
It’s a fun job and I get lots of free designer clothes.
Dylan
What kind of books do you edit?
Sarah
Mostly Mystery and Thriller. Do you read that?
Dylan
Read it? I write it! I’m in the middle of writing a mystery book.
Sarah
Wow, that’s amazing! I’d love to hear more about it.
Dylan
How about I buy you a drink and I can get your professional opinion?
Sarah
Since my aunt harassed you, I’ll be there 😊
Sarah
Oh, just curious, why did you almost call security on my aunt? What did she do?
Dylan
She wrote your number on the cover of Fifty Shades of Grey and tried to stuff it into my bag.
Dylan
She said to call that number if I wanted the live version.
Sarah
I’m so sorry about her. Did she pay for the book at least?
Dylan
No, and she’s currently being escorted out of the bookstore by security.
Sarah
I’ll reimburse you for the ruined book.
Dylan
It’s not ruined. It has your phone number on it.
Dylan
I’m definitely keeping that!
Sarah
Okay, then I’m buying the drinks.
Dylan
We’ll see about that. I’ll text you tomorrow to figure out the details.
Sarah
Sounds perfect. Enjoy Of Mice and Men 😁
Dylan
And Fifty Shades of Grey? Haha.
Sarah
Yeah, that one too 😉
Auntie Carol
Well, I just got kicked out of the store by the security guard who is NOT single.
Auntie Carol
What a jerk. He made me delete the photo I took of him.
Sarah
It’s okay, Aunt Carol.
Sarah
Like I said, I’m focusing on my career right now.
Sarah
Maybe you should find a boyfriend for Tara. She’s been single for a while.
Auntie Carol
Your sister Tara is single?
Sarah
And in desperate need of some matchmaking.
Auntie Carol
She likes firemen, right?
