“Calreed to attend the dinner as your date—”

“Ja to happen”

“Let me finish As your date, but just as a friend This will be your final event together where you can show everyone you’re still friends and there are no hard feelings You can arrive separately and leave separately You just have to have your pictures taken by the event photographer and all pictures will be vetted before being released”

“And Kate agreed to this Once I do this she stops playing the victim and leaves us alone?” Aedan asked skeptically
