Jack: So long, stranger

Tara and Colin both deleted their Fling accounts and removed the app from their phones. They had met their 100 per cent match, and there was no score higher than perfection. They had downloaded the app to escape from their lives but the stars had brought them home.

‘You finally believe me?’ she said, drowning in his ocean eyes like the moment she first saw him.

‘Yes, Tara . . . because now I know . . . my reason is you.’ Colin wrapped his arms around Tara and kissed her the way he would kiss her for the rest of his life. With their eternal flame burning brighter than ever before, reignited by a single match.
