A few other elders agreed with Tony and urged Laurence to accept the blind date arrangement.
“The most important thing for you now is to get married and have kids,” said one of the elders, Matteo Longbottom.
“We’ll help you pick the ladies, and you just have to meet them.
“Take a look at these photographs and see if you fancy any of them.”
Matteo picked up the bag and handed it to Laurence.
Laurence did not reject it. He took the bag from Matteo and opened it to retrieve a thick stack of photos. Every single one was caked in makeup and their poses orchestrated, making it impossible to tell what they actually looked like.
He haphazardly flipped through a few, then passed the stack to Noelle, who was standing behind him. He said to her, “Noelle, you take a look too.”
Noelle took the stack and looked through quite a few with diligence before stacking them neatly once more and returning them to Laurence. She said politely, “Sir, these are your potential blind dates, so you should take your time looking through them. My taste is different from yours, so I won’t presume the choice for you.”
“I can’t tell what they look like.”
Laurence did not continue looking through the photos. He simply shoved the photos back into the bag and said to the elders, “These photos are all posed and they have such heavy makeup I can’t tell what they actually look like.
“All I can say is they all have eyes, ears, noses and lips. The next time you’d like to show me photos, please provide photos of them barefaced. I won’t look at any if they’re wearing makeup, even if it’s just light makeup.
“And they’re not allowed to use beauty filters either because again, the photos won’t be authentic.”
The elders exchanged glances.
