Interview with the hero from Can’t Buy Me Love by Beth K. Vogt:
1. Reid Stanton, tell me the most interesting thing about you.
Some people would say the most interesting thing about me is that I’m the son of Bruce Stanton, the well-known restaurateur. Or that my younger sister, Lydia, is married to a British movie star. I’m a CPA.
2. What do you do for fun?
Numbers are fun. I have a Sudoku Plus app on my phone. My fiancée, Bellamy, and I have two favorite restaurants in Colorado Springs that we like to go to for date nights. I’m a creature of habit, but most people wouldn’t find that interesting.
3. What do you put off doing because you dread it?
I’m a “get it done” kind of guy. Even filing your taxes – just do it. Talking with my parents sometimes . . . but I wouldn’t say I dread it. It just isn’t always the easiest thing. Doing my taxes is easier.
4. What are you afraid of most in life?
Debt. Not going there. I’m . . . just not.
5. What do you want out of life?
To marry Bellamy Hillman. She taught me how to laugh again.
6. What is the most important thing to you?
I like a routine. Order. I don’t know if I would say that was the most important thing to me, but it is important.
7. Do you read books? If so, what is your favorite type of book?
I’m a long-time Tom Clancy fan. And C.S. Lewis.
8. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I would go back to my early college years and make some different choices. Be wiser about my group of friends.
9. Do you have a pet? If so, what is it and why that pet?
No, no pets. But my mother has this mutt of a dog named Wiley. That’s how I met Bellamy. I agreed to pick Wiley up from his weekly grooming session – and Bellamy was the dog groomer.
10. If you could travel back in time, where would you go and why?
I would like to have a chance to sit down and talk with C.S. Lewis. A brilliant man, and yet he seemed very down to earth.
