Not every guy is so charmingly obstinate.
She called me charming. There will be no sleep for me tonight!

Subject: What not to do
Lettie,
I realize I’ve failed you in your time of need by not coming up with a good excuse to get you out of this blind date. The offer still stands to say your boyfriend objects. I’d be happy to fly in and make an appearance. However, I suspect you would call that option too drastic. So, I’m going to tell you what not to do.
Don’t wear that red dress you wore to the engagement party.
Don’t laugh and spit cookie crumbs.
Don’t fiercely debate your opinion on anything.
Don’t make witty comebacks.
Try not to be sassy—ever.
Don’t sing “Crazy for You” and make eye contact.
Don’t step on his toes while dancing.
