Excerpt from Happy New Year, Darling!
Plan now for a fantasy dream come true. Bring in the New Year at a lavish resort, but don't stop there! Spoiled in luxury, you will be joined by your estranged lover. You know, that special one and only that should be with you on this the most romantic night of the year. We can provide that certain woman, who until now has been unavailable to you. Is a family part of your holiday magic? We will recreate the loving family you deserve. Call Veronica for a discrete consultation.
I'll write a loose script based on the information given to me by the client, then hire an actress who matches the physical description and is strong at improvisation. How hard could that be? I only need one client.
