SUMMARY: A young woman asks her lover, "If you could live forever, would you?" Hannah has been 23 since the year 1954. Her boyfriend, Ryan, 25, finds this pretty hard to believe at first, but love leads him not only to believe her, but accept her offer to make him immortal like her. "Bargaining" is a thousand-year drama of love and loss, that uses the supernatural element of immortality to explore the universally human themes of devotion and forgiveness.
