** Harper **
It was Harper's turn to choke on her first sip of coke. Alright, she obviously hadn't thought nearly that far. Never mind the terrible suggestion then — she certainly wasn't that selfless!
Eli, who fortunately did not follow their lead and choke on his food as well, cleared his throat. "I could certainly pull some strings and get an extra invitation without giving myself a plus-two, Harper." He gave his girlfriend an amused wink when Chelsea wasn't looking, and Harper felt her cheeks burn at the thought that she had almost just rented him out. "Though the better question is not whether I can, but whether I should."
