Next chapter a bit sooner :) Enjoy.

“Why is Kyle so opposing to finding someone?” I ask Oriel.
“Hmm, I don’t know.” Oriel responds avoiding eye contact.
“Do you know something I don’t?”
“You know him better than I do.” Oriel states.
“He doesn’t ever really give me a reason, why he doesn’t give someone a chance.” I say more to myself.
“Maybe, he really just hasn’t met his perfect someone.”
“Hmm, so what is he looking for in a person?”
“I don’t know.” Oriel says seeming preoccupied.
“So if we were to make him an online profile, what would we write?”
“His interests?” Oriel responds.
For someone who seemed confident on creating one, now he’s not. “What else goes into a dating profile?”
“Well a photo of his, his hobbies, movies he likes, and reply to some questions to help match him with other people.”
“Are you going to do it?” I ask.
“You mean are we going to create his profile?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t know. Being serious, he might get angry at us.”
“Or he might, but he might give it a try?”
“Yes, either way.”
“So what is he looking for in a person?” I ask again.
“I don’t know.” He responds not looking at me.
“What do you think? Or is it one of those cases that he’s in love with someone and I have no idea?” I ask.
“What makes you think that?” Oriel asks making eye contact.
“Just a thought.”
“Where did it come from?”
I shake my head. Should I tell him? I haven’t told anyone. “Never mind.”
“Okay, well if you want to add anything else at a later time, you can.” He says seriously.
I nod and soon we are saying our goodbyes to get back to work.

“So we talked to Kyle today; Oriel jokingly said we might make him an online dating profile.”
“That might make him angry.” Xavier says. “And doesn’t someone have to answer some questions to match him to potential people?”
“I didn’t even think of that until Oriel said it, but yes.”
“Would you both seriously create it?”
“I don’t know. We were joking, but it would be nice for Kyle to give someone a chance.”
“Yes, it would be great.” Xavier states.
I turn to look at him, his expression doesn’t say much. He seems to just be agreeing.
“I don’t think we’ll create it. He’ll meet someone when it’s right for him.”
“Like Oriel did? Didn’t he meet Alex online.”
“Yes, he did.” I reply.
“It should be Kyle’s decision if he wants to create the profile. I know that you like helping, but it might cause a rift if you actually create the profile.”
