Story

The story

A broke young teacher buys a second-hand laptop online, only to receive a brand-new flagship model instead. The wallpaper shows a photo of him from high school, and the password is his own birthday. Before he can work out who sent it, the seller floods his phone with panicked messages: she mailed her sister's new computer by mistake, and the sister is obsessed with the man in the wallpaper, her future husband.

He agrees to return it, but the meeting point brings a shock. The seller is Lily Bennett, one of his own students, who has been scheming to set him up with her older sister. Now he stands in her family's living room, facing the sister herself, a woman he has never met but who apparently already has plans for him.

He only wanted a cheap replacement laptop. Instead he has a mystery, a refund he cannot collect, and a student playing matchmaker.

Opening excerpt

I bought a used laptop online. I was expecting a beat-up machine. Instead, I received the brand-new, latest model.

I opened it up. The wallpaper was a photo of me. The password? My birthday.

Just as I was wondering if this was some secret admirer’s surprise gift... My phone blew up. The seller was spamming me:

"Girl, I messed up! I mailed you my sister’s new laptop!"

"That wasn't the one for sale! OMG, she’s going to end me."

"Did you see the guy on the wallpaper? That’s my brother-in-law. She’s obsessed with him."

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
