In six months, she will no longer be holding his hand from above. What is a guy who hasn't dated in over twenty years to do?

The very next day, Mick encounters a spit-fire, red head who gives him a piece of her mind for what he thought was a gentlemanly gesture. He apologized and made a strategic retreat. The trouble is, now he can't get her out of his head.
