Practical:
And you think that’s enough?
Again, I think of Owen. If he were going to profess his love for me, I think he could tell me in three words, and I’d turn into a melted marshmallow. Maybe it doesn’t need to be fancy or flowery or Jane Austen-esque. Maybe it just needs to be honest.
Hopeful:
Just tell her. Don’t overthink it.
Forget I said anything about the romance because I’m starting to see that’s not what matters.
What matters is that you’re honest.
And thoughtful.
And good.
It sounds like you really care about this girl.
And that is its own kind of romance!
Wow. I really do believe that.
Practical:
All right. Wish me luck.
Hopeful:
Report back!
And I’m sending over a Zoom link for our interview.
We’ll keep the video off, but I think it’ll be a great conversation.
Practical:
Great.
And hey. . .thanks.
Hopeful:
Anytime.
Owen

Emmy is The Hopeful Romantic.
