Think you’re up for the task?
I don’t think this mission is over, Professor, and I need you now more than ever.
Henrietta
P.S. Who is she thinking about dating? Did she happen to ask you to set her up with anyone?

Henrietta,
I will help as much as I can. I can’t make any promises though. We will have to tread carefully because I don’t want her to know I’m working for the enemy. I established a good rapport, and I don’t want to lose that.
And no, she didn’t ask me to set her up with anyone. Trust me, I’m having a hard enough time finding someone for myself, especially after the nightmare of a date I went on the other night.
Looks like it’s going to be a tough road, Henrietta. Not sure of your chances.

Professor,
I think there is one thing you need to know about me. I don’t give up easily, meaning, this new information is not going to deter me. I’m going to request a meeting to discuss the bridal shower, and I think you, Syrup, and I all need to be there. Let’s get the initial awkwardness over and done with and work from there.
Can you schedule an appointment? I’m back in town tomorrow, and I want to offer up one of our properties for the shower venue. It’s a storefront that is being used for all different kinds of events. The best part is that it has a spacious courtyard in the back. Kind of a diamond in the rough. Think we could meet there?
Also, I’m going to need to hear more about your date. Details will be needed.

Henrietta,
Syrup is going to be livid, but I think you’re right. As it is my number one job to look out for the bride, I think we need to get the initial meeting over and done with in case there’s any lashing out or kicking—never know how people might react.
I would hate to see you get kicked in the middle of the bridal shower. A comical crotch shot doesn’t quite set the tone for romance in the air. I’ll figure out when she’s available and then shoot over a time.
And also…the details of my date will remain close to my chest. Nothing from that night needs to be repeated.
I’ll be in touch.

“Are you nervous, man?”Brody asks me as I check myself out in the reflection of the window one last time.
