I used to consider myself a hopeless romantic, so why wouldn't I choose to become a cupid? Sounds like a good idea, right? Wrong again. They don't call us stupid cupids for nothing.

I do not need a fourth incident to make my life more interesting, please and thank you. Spoiler alert: I get one anyway.
