I recognize this is beyond last minute, bit bear with me please! I had a scheduled dinner date planned tonight at 8pm at a great downtown restaurant, but my date fell ill and had to cancel on me  

I’d prefer not to cancel my reservation as a deposit was put down and am wondering if anyone might be available tonight to join me? Please send me a DM and I can share additional details and we can go from there.  

Im hoping to get things locked in by 5pm, otherwise I will have to cancel the resy.
