That reminds me, you still haven’t let me read your book. I mean it when I say I want to read it. But seriously, is our correspondence taking away from your precious writing time?

Yours with deep regret for even asking because I’d be crushed if you stopped writing,

These emails are helping my career. They count as research.

With Deepest Gratitude,

Sweet Lettie,

Hmm... let’s connect the dots. You say my emails qualify as research for your writing. And you happen to write romance. Please expand on this?

With high hopes,

Liam

I’ve already said too much. And I still don’t have an excuse to get out of this date. What, in your opinion, is the best method to scare a guy off?

You’re asking ME this? Haven’t you been using some playbook for this very purpose since we first met? The sad truth is: it’s a hopeless case. You did everything but slap my face, and you still haven’t scared me away.

I eagerly await your next email,

Liam
