Cal was dyslexic which had limitations for him, yet he was smart about people and did well in business because of that. He enjoys watching her sensual love of food. Cal encourages her to eat forbidden foods: bread, butter, doughnuts. Min tries to diet to please her mother but it doesn’t work. Her mother has bullied Min her entire life about dieting and losing weight. She has a round shape and will never be thin. Min is caring and smart and works as an actuary. One of the best things about Bet Me were the character definitions.
But at the same time they are kind of falling for each other, but they don’t want to. Their paths keep crossing, and each time she insults him. She is angry, but she leaves with Cal because she wants to be rude to him. Min overheard part of the bet but not all of it, and she thinks it’s a bet to have sex with her. Cal refuses but says he’s willing to bet ten dollars that he can walk out the door with her. David bets Cal that he can’t get Min to bed in a month. The book starts with a well done mis-communication - the bet.
