"The Acquisition"
A Hanukkah party, an ex, and a rash decision to fake a relationship with a cute stranger. By Lindsay Hameroff.
Hannah says:
Picture this: It’s been three months since you and your ex broke up, you’re walking into your friend’s Hanukkah party, and you spot him with his new girlfriend. What do you do — hide in the bushes? Stride in, single and proud? In “The Acquisition,” our girl Becca makes a very different move: she pays the handsome stranger in her Uber a cool $300 to pretend to be her boyfriend. I’m so glad she did.
