Cole
The dinner party would be a turning point. If she tried to run, she'd be brought back forcefully.
If she didn't try to run, I'd learn something more about her. How far I could push her. How much I could make her do.
The turning point was, in part, that after this, the limited amount of unstated consent she had retained would vanish.
The charitable aspect of the evening was real. Five couples would come together, couples of varying interests and relationship status. We raised money for everything from animals to the environment, once raised the money to save a failing business, and more than once donated significant amounts to at-risk inner-city schools. We'd saved whales and earthquake victims.
Tonight we were collecting funds we'd donate to organizations that fought human trafficking.
It was something we believed in, and something that amused us.
I was looking forward to the evening.
