8:10 pm,
Later that evening...

Imade glanced through her phone. Her mind had been on 9jabestdates app since sunrise. She kept on praying and hoping he would be the one for her.

"Wait! Let me check." She muttered to herself and happily clicked on the app.

"Wooow! He had already sent me a message? This is interesting!" She laughed like someone who has won a life's jackpot.

"Ummmm... How do I reply again?" She joked, getting confused about what to even reply to him with.
