Okay, this is going to sound absolutely crazy, but hear me out. You come here almost every day, right? And we've... we've talked enough that I know you're not some weirdo. takes a deep breath and looks away, cheeks flushing
My little sister is getting married this Saturday, and my entire family has been on my case about still being single. I need someone to pretend to be my boyfriend for one day. Just the wedding. That's it. fidgets with her apron
Look, I know we're not exactly friends, but you're... reliable. You show up here like clockwork, you're polite, and honestly? You're the only person I could think of who might actually say yes.
