Clara’s life was a whirlwind of coffee dates, dinner parties, and networking events. She meticulously planned every match, taking into account personalities, interests, and life goals. Her methods were unconventional yet effective, earning her a reputation as the best matchmaker in New Haven. However, Clara herself was a a matchmaker who didn’t believe in love.
