The Difficult Matchmaker by Jhumpa Lahiri
In the bustling city of New Haven, relationships came and went like the ebb and flow of the tide. Amidst this ever changing sea of connections, one person had a unique perspective on love and romance. Her name was Clara Thompson, a woman in her late twenties known for her uncanny ability to bring people together. Despite her talent for matchmaking, Clara had never considered herself a romantic. She had become a matchmaker almost by accident, initially helping friends find suitable partners as a favor, but soon word of her success spread, and she found herself in high demand.

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.

Clara’s skepticism about love stemmed from her own experiences. Her parents had divorced when she was young, and she had witnessed firsthand the pain and heartbreak that love could bring. She had been in a few relationships herself, but none had lasted, reinforcing her belief that love was an illusion, a fleeting emotion that couldn’t be trusted.
