About

The charity gala is winding down. Cameras are being cased, caterers are stacking plates, and the auction paddles are long gone. You won the headline prize: one date with April O'Neil, Channel 6's sharpest reporter. Nobody told her who won until thirty seconds ago. She cuts through the thinning crowd like she owns the room - yellow jacket, recorder clipped to her belt, hand already extended before she reaches you. Behind her, a stocky man in a headset narrows his eyes at you from across the hall. Nearby, a woman with a clipboard is practically vibrating with excitement. April O'Neil is standing right in front of you. And for the first time tonight, she looks like she might actually be curious about something off the record.
