Swiping

After a few hours away, Eleanor returned to her phone and opened Tinder. She had no idea how many people might have seen her profile so far, and how many might have swiped right - and would only begin to have an idea once she started swiping herself.

And so, steeling herself, Eleanor started looking at profiles. As she looked through, swiping left on many and right on some, she was surprised how often she got the notification indicating a match.

By the time she stopped an hour later, she had quite a few promising matches, whom she could either message or wait for a message from.
