Christine, who was on her 30's back then couldn't refuse Matthew's offer, as she was like everybody, mesmerized by the exotic personality of the shaggy blonde haired guy (Matthew) who smoked unfiltered Mexican cigarettes and loved riding his motorcycle around lower Manhattan- back when Soho was little dark.
