Well, Lucas can’t be that great if his ex walked out on him. Must be that awful temper of his.

Anyway, enough about Shrek. I’m not here because of him. Okay, maybe I’m here a teeny bit because of him, but only to preserve the business I have built with years of sacrifices. I needed a way to get him to move out, and he offered it to me on a silver plate. It’s nothing personal; at least, not for me.

Right, let’s move on with the questions.

6. Do you have children?

Yes, I have a teenage daughter, Tegan, she’s fifteen.

7. Aside from any children you or your new partner may already have, would you like to start a new family?

Yes, I’ve always wanted to give Tegan a sibling. I’m only sorry the age gap between them will be so wide.

8. Are you open to dating someone who already has children?

Of course, dating a father would be ideal. I wouldn’t have to explain all the difficulties of being a single parent to him, and the family would grow right away. The more the merrier, right?

I turn another page and find more multiple-choice questions. Those are the most fun to answer.

9. Are you a morning person or a night person?

♡ Morning person

♡ Night Owl

♡ It depends

I tick night owl. I always have trouble getting to sleep at night, but once I hit that REM cycle I could stay in bed forever.

10. How active would you say you are?

♡ Very, staying fit is important

♡ I only exercise because I have to

♡ I don’t have much time to exercise, but I’d like to do it more often

♡ I’m a couch potato

Mmm, am I a couch potato? I’m not super active, but I would like to exercise more; I just never have enough time in the day. I do walk to work every morning, and try to go places on foot as much as possible—that should count for something, right? I check off the third option.

11. What’s your ideal vacation?

A lot of options follow, and I select beach holidays, cruises, vacations for pure relaxation, resorts, and spa breaks. Some of the other options make me cringe. Who would even call “hiking” a vacation?

12. How do you plan your vacations?

♡ I don’t, I pack and go

♡ I meticulously plan and schedule everything

♡ I arrange the dates and transportation, but I leave the rest to the moment

I plan everything ahead of time. Going somewhere without an accommodation booked would drive me mad. Spontaneous trips are my idea of hell. I’ve always imagined such a spur-of-the-moment getaway would end up with me soaked in the rain as I looked for a place to sleep in a random town with all the hotels booked solid. Not my thing. I’m a control freak.

13. If you had a day off work, what would you do?
