Without remorse or hesitation, I make an offer I know she won’t be able to refuse. I need a date for six events over the next few weeks. I’ll donate ten thousand dollars for each date she attends with me to the struggling charity she is devoted to.
She counters with twenty-five thousand each date and a whole lot of hate. Deal. It's a bargain, as far as I'm concerned.
I have six dates and her love of the magic of Christmas to get her to take a chance on the magic of us.
