It’s an age-old story: Single girl, single boy. She’s connected, he’s from the other side of the tracks. He pursues her, she declines (and declines, and declines).
But eventually, he finds the magic words. She gives him a chance. They date. Things get serious.
She ignores warnings from those familiar with the fellow while introducing (and defending) him to the family. They make their relationship official, giving him creditability within the circle of influence he’s admired from afar. They’re the golden couple at the Big Holiday Party.
Then, after the holidays have passed, her phone stops ringing. She calls, she emails. She wrestles for scraps of conversation.
After months of heartache, she quietly takes off the ring.
Then it happens. The inevitable. People begin asking questions.
Sadly, this mirrors the brief relationship between The 3/50 Project and American Express. [click here to continue…]
