Chapter One: The Brunch Breakdown

There were worse places to get dumped than a bottomless mimosa brunch. Probably.

Isla Moreno sat frozen, her hand still wrapped around a champagne glass, as Nathan—her boyfriend of two years—sincerely, gently, and devastatingly said, “I just feel like… we’re not growing together anymore.”

Across the table, her best friend Harper’s eyes widened. Next to her, Nathan’s best friend kept nervously chewing his bacon. Isla blinked once. Twice. Then said, calmly:

“You’re breaking up with me… in front of the entire brunch squad?!”

Nathan winced. “I thought it would feel.... Less dramatic.”

“Oh. Less dramatic?! are you kidding me?!”

Harper dropped her fork. The table fell into the kind of silence normally reserved for church services and tax audits.

“I didn’t mean—” Nathan started.

“—No, you never do,” Isla snapped. “You never mean to flirt with hot female bartenders. You never mean to forget our anniversary. And you definitely didn’t mean to plan this public execution.”

Nathan looked away shamed and embarrassed.

"Hey! Nathan!"Harper punched him in his face before throwing a glass of champagne in his face and grabbed her friend hand dragging her out the door. "let's go Isla, men are psychological experiment gone wrong.”

Later that night, in Isla's apartment buried under a comforter like a rejected human burrito, Isla was halfway through a pint of rocky road ice-cream when her phone buzzed.

📱 Harper:

> You need to get over that jackass! I told you he wasn't any good for you...you need a distraction Ah! I know I recently downloaded this dating app it's fun, a lot of nice people on there. surprisingly I haven't stumbled on any pervs or creeps, you should totally try it it's called BlindSpark. Trust me. No pics. Just good vibes.

📱 Isla:

> Are you TRYING to get me catfished by a cult leader? I don't trust dating apps.

📱 Harper:

> It’s anonymous, but legit. Bios only. They reveal photos later—if both parties agree.

Like dating, but introvert-friendly.

📱 Isla:

> You think I have “introvert-friendly” energy?

📱 Harper:

> I think you have “grudge-holding fire goblin who deserves love” energy.

Isla stared at the app icon Harper sent. BlindSpark. She rolled her eyes, took another bite of ice cream… and downloaded it.

If she was going to suffer, she might as well do it with company. let's see what happens now.

Liam Park didn’t believe in fate. He believed in algorithms, sarcasm, and the blessed silence of noise-canceling headphones. Which was why he wanted to kill his roommate for turning his phone into a social experiment.

“You. Did. WHAT?”

Josh grinned over his bowl of cereal. “Don’t be mad. I just set up your BlindSpark profile. Chill. You need this. It’s like… digital therapy. I'm helping you here, to find love”

“I don't need love and I sure as hell didn’t ask for therapy. I asked you to stop ordering mystery stuffs from TikTok shops and downloading weird apps on my phone!”

Josh shrugged. “Come on don't be like that and it's not like the other apps your bio’s perfect. Just enough edge to seem cool. You’re DizzyDragon now.”

“What the hell kind of name is that?! I sound like a gaming YouTuber with a Red Bull addiction.”

Josh threw a sock at him.

Later that night, Liam was five minutes into deleting the app—until a message popped up from someone named HotMess92.

Her bio?

> “Human espresso shot. Once told a man he smelled like casual misogyny. Looking for someone who gets my sarcasm or dies trying.”

He laughed.

And replied.

Their First Chat

> HotMess92:

Let’s get one thing clear—I hate dating apps.

> DizzyDragon:

That’s the best opener I’ve seen today. Most people just send me “hi.”

> HotMess92:

“Hi” is for cowards. Or LinkedIn.

> DizzyDragon:

Strong words. Bold energy. I respect that. You ever been kicked out of a brunch place?

> HotMess92:

You’re weirdly specific and I’m terrified, but funny.

> DizzyDragon:

Don’t worry. I’m charming in a socially awkward, emotionally stunted kind of way.

> HotMess92:

That’s… alarmingly accurate. Carry on.

That night they chatted late into the night.

Isla’s least favorite sound in the world?

The smug, drawn-out “morning” from Liam Park, who strolled into the office like he owned the building—or at least paid rent in everyone’s last nerve.

“Morning,” he said now, tone dipped in espresso and arrogance.

“Ugh,” Isla replied, sipping actual espresso.

They passed each other by the elevator, her stilettos clicking like gunfire, his shoes somehow making silence sound smug. He carried a half-eaten banana and a laptop under one arm. She carried an aura of rage, caffeine, and seven open Slack conversations.

“Love the blazer,” he said as they stepped in. “Very ‘hostile takeover.’”

Isla gave him a slow side-eye. “Love the banana. Very ‘lazy potassium deficiency.’”

Liam grinned. She hated that it was a nice smile.

The elevator door opened directly onto the 10th floor of Vibe & Vine Media, a chic digital marketing firm filled with plants, kombucha taps, and people pretending their lives were together.

Today, unfortunately, was campaign meeting day—which meant Isla and Liam were, yet again, paired as creative leads.

Mr. Callahan, their overly peppy boss who believed every team conflict could be solved with hummus, clapped his hands. “Isla! Liam! Power pair! You two ready to co-lead the FreshFizz rebrand?”

Isla’s jaw twitched. “Of course,” she said with the enthusiasm of someone about to eat glass.

“Always a pleasure,” Liam said, nudging her shoulder. “We work so well together.”

“Like oil and fire,” she muttered under her breath.

Later in the glass meeting pod (ironically called “The Collaboration Den”), Isla was scribbling furiously on a whiteboard while Liam reclined in a beanbag chair, sipping iced coffee and offering zero useful input.

“We need a clean tagline,” she snapped. “Something punchy. Something that doesn’t sound like it was written by a frat boy in a group project.”

“‘Fizz Happens,’” Liam offered, grinning.

Isla stopped writing, turning to look at him.

“I will stab you with this dry-erase marker.”

“You’re welcome to try,” he said, still lounging. “You know, tension like this usually ends with making out in movies.”

Isla whirled around. “We are not in a movie and even if we were I'd rather cut my lips off before kissing you"

“Tell that to the sexual tension. It’s practically its own character.”

She rolls her eyes"I hate you" he said returning to her work.

Liam smirks.

Meanwhile… That Night

📱 HotMess92:

> What’s your biggest red flag?

📱 DizzyDragon:

> I act chill but I remember everything and hold grudges like I’m paid for it.

📱 HotMess92:

> Hot. Okay, mine: I assume people will leave, so I try to win the breakup before it starts.

📱 DizzyDragon:

> Wow. Who hurt you?

📱 HotMess92:

> Let me introduce you to a man named Nathan who broke up with me over eggs Benedict at brunch.

📱 DizzyDragon:

> I would never do that. If I dumped someone over brunch, it’d at least be a French toast situation.

📱 HotMess92:

> You’re a monster. Let’s get married.

📱 DizzyDragon:

> Deal. But only if we serve waffles at the wedding.

She smiled to herself before sending him a smiley face emoji. Just then her phone rang, she answers, it was her friend Harper.

📱

"What's up?" Isla asked.

📱

"Don't you what's up me? Spill it how did it go?!" She asked eagerly.

📱

"How did what go?"

📱

"The dating app! Did you find anyone?! Please tell me you did!"

📱

"Well, I'm texting this guy and i-" before she could finish Harper cut her off.

📱

"You are?! Did you see his pic yet?! Is he cute? Handsome?! Sexy?! Good-looking?! Is he tall?! Short?! Average size?! What's his name?!"

📱

"Whoa there, calm down....to answer your question we haven't been talking for that long, so I can't answer any of those questions and besides we haven't even revealed our pics to each other yet. Taking things slow.

📱

"That's no fun! Anyway how is he so far? Does he look promising, unlike that ass you called your boyfriend before?"

📱

"So far he's a nice guy. He's actually fun to talk with. Why are you laughing?"

📱

"Haha! No reason, I'm just happy for you! Anyway as much as how I'd like to talk some more with you about your mystery guy I have to get to bed I have a meeting in the morning"

📱

"Okay, Good luck tomorrow"

📱

"Thanks! Bye! And remember to keep me posted."

📱

"I will, Bye!" She hung up the phone placing it on the nightstand before going to bed.
