To: Tate Foster
From: Lauren Williamson
Subject: You can’t get out of this
Dear Tate,
Since you avoided a meeting with me yesterday, you are cordially invited to the Magnolia Brew coffee shop at 8 a.m. tomorrow to discuss your new PR makeover.
Cinnamon buns are on me.
Fun socks are optional, but encouraged.
Cheerfully over-caffeinated,
Lauren

Subject: I don’t stoop to baked goods bribery
Sunny,
You think a cinnamon bun is enough to bribe me into attending a PR strategy meeting?
You’ll have to do better.
Grumpily yours,
Tate

From: Lauren Williamson
Subject: If it comes to this…
Sheriff,
Fine. Name your price.
I can negotiate, bribe, or beg. But I draw the line at groveling.

To: Lauren Williamson
From: Tate Foster
Subject: You’re going to hate this. No, really, you are.
Sunny,
Black coffee. No cream. No sugar. No caramel swirls, unicorn sparkle foam, or whatever else you usually drink.
Also, let me keep calling you Sunny.
Sheriff
From: Lauren Williamson
To: Tate Foster
Subject: I might regret this later
Sheriff,
Deal.
You get your black coffee full of bitter tears and your ridiculous nickname privileges. I get to see your socks.
Already regretting this,
Sunny
