Edwina Wallingford had it all: a six-figure income, a condo in the city, a summer home in the Hamptons, men (when and if she wanted). She was her own boss and answered to no one. No one except...
"You will be coming home for my birthday won't you, Edwina?" Virginia Wallingford asked, though it wasn't so much a question as it was a command. "I have invited Allan Barstow for dinner to even things out."
Edwina sighed. Evening things out was her mother's way of saying: I've found a man for you to marry. You'd think she'd have given up after the first ten or so, but no... Virginia's sole purpose in life was to marry her eldest daughter off -- after all, she'd been successful with her two sisters.
"I said that I would, mother. I've arranged to take time off from work and I'll be there for the whole weekend." But how, she wondered, could she avoid this latest bit of matchmaking?

Read along as Tibvo and I explain just how Edwina plans to manage this feat.
