“Absolutely.”
“We’ll pack grocery boxes too.”
Walter covered the supplies and transportation.
A percentage of tonight’s proceeds.
“One more thing,” I told him. “Introduce me to your biggest donors. I want to fund something beyond tonight.”
He smiled. “I know just the people.”
I called Margaret personally.
“Rachel? Is everything all right?”
“Everything’s fine. Actually, I wanted to ask you a favor.”
We’ll pack grocery boxes too.
“A favor? After what you did for me?”
“It’s a little unusual.”
“Well, now you’ve got me curious.”
I explained what I needed.
Margaret was quiet for a moment.
I wanted to ask you a favor.
“Will that woman be there?”
“Yes. But it’s entirely your choice.”
Another pause.
“All right, honey. I’ll do it.”
“Thank you, Margaret.”
Now you’ve got me curious.
“Just promise me one thing.”
“What’s that?”
“Don’t expect me to wear anything fancy.”
