It always happened this way. Dan would see a girl for three months, four mouths, six months, and then for one reason or another the relationship would go bung, just before the big holiday, or wedding or other family gathering.
His family had just about decided he was making up all these women he'd been talking about.
"Do you think he's gay?" his mother worried one night to his father.
Dan was anything but gay, but he was positively frustrated that he'd be alone -- again -- at his family's Fourth of July party at their house on the Cape. He loved his family, and he loved the party. But he didn't love the looks he got from everyone who wondered about him.
Desperation gave him an idea.
"Abby," he said to the pretty blonde who worked in his group, "my family has this big annual party on Cape Cod and, well, you know about Charlotte and me, and it's almost kind of a running joke that whenever there's a family event I'll show up by myself. I wondered: Would you be willing to go with me, and pretend you're my girlfriend? I promise I won't make any demands on you, it's always a fun event, and by the good luck of my family the weather's been perfect for the last 10 years."
He looked at her, ready to be turned down. They were friends and they had saved each other's butt several times on work things. But he wondered if this was just too much to ask.
------------------------
I'm looking for a female to play this with me. It's got plenty of room for an interesting change in their relationship, plus some fun with the rest of the family, too!
Please let me know if you'd like to discuss this with me. I like long-form, third-person past tense, and at least one post every day. Still, I can accommodate pretty much any style as long as you give me something to read every day that more or less matches what I send up.
What do you say?
