Love, Lies, and Free Vacations

So, you may recall my mentioning a situation where a friend was in a friends-with-benefits type situation with a guy that just decided he has found true love – and was telling her all about it.

They haven’t seen each other in a while – they still talk often, but he is a musician by trade and currently on tour.

In a really freaky twist of fate, my friend, also a journalist, was invited to a press junket out on the west coast the exact same weekend he will be there. Any other time, she’d jump at the chance for a free posh vacation. (For, that is what press junkets actually are.) This time, though, she paused…in actuality, it IS a coincidence. But will it appear that way? Or some clever ploy to get some action?

And, should action happen…is that necessarily a bad side benefit?

What would you all do? Go or not go? I am toying with the advice that she should go on the trip…and just avoid telling him she is there!
