woah intense, chill mate. Just when i thought you’d hit peak poet. were you high? in any case, progress! or as youd say We Shall Meet Up. what shall we do? typical you, now youve put a mega emo load on it. usually i can think of about six million things id like to have a sugar daddy pay for but now umm. mind. is. blank. i was going to suggest Drinks. god forbid lol. now idk, feel like you expect me to come up with some kind of leisure activity like some kind of TA organizing a school trip. shall we go to the zoo or like the aquarium? animals in captivity always seem to do the trick on dates. wonder if it’s cuz seeing a large animal trapped in a small awkward space helps take your mind off the fact that’s pretty much what first dates are like themselves. lol just kidding. listen so long as you dont take me for pasta im pretty much game for anything. oh and also no formal dresscode pls. last time i wore heels to a date the guy had to literally piggyback me home, which also meant i ended up sleeping with him bc i felt bad about it. o shit ive done it again havent i? im sorry.

shall we just say tuesday piccadilly under the statue of cupid? seems to fit your current vibe. no, but honestly, chill out. i promise i wont bail if you answer me this simple question: what is your actual name, clay?

My dearest Lili,

I have to be very brief as I am engaged right now, but I felt so elated when my phone vibrated (appropriately, I’d put it in my shirt pocket right against my heart). I got so excited I just couldn’t wait to get back to you and had to do it straight away, for the irrational fear that your decision to meet me might somehow evaporate if I left it even just a few hours. I actually don’t mind having to send you this quickly and in secret … I like the feel of it, like an eighteenth-century illicit love letter, penned on the back of official correspondence, a lipstick kiss hidden in the folded heart of a lady’s napkin … Les liaisons dangereuses!

I’m running out of time and this is to say, simply, I cannot wait for tomorrow, my dearest dearest Lili. 6 p.m. I’ll bring you a single red rose.

I just couldn’t wait to tell you.

Yours,
Neil

les liaisons dangerous?

didn’t they do a movie about it with that chick from that 90s vampire show buffy in it? god ryan philippe is fit in it isn’t he. but really all i used to watch it for was all that lesbian kissing. H-O-T

OK. COOL.
