I respect that the guy is so open with his love of romance movies. I, myself, actually love romcoms, too––particularly Tom Hanks flicks––and I’m not ashamed to admit it. To anyone but him, that is. Because admitting that would be admitting defeat in our little war.

Honey announcing to the group she’s decided to get engaged, then telling Spike it’s him afterward is more believable than Anna and William falling into this deep, abiding love after spending two days, which were months apart, together. #mereinfatuation #justagirlstandinginfrontofaboyaskinghimtotolerateherwildmoodswings

Okay,so I’m revealing that I’ve watched this movie––more than once––by naming the characters this way, but who cares? It’ll rile JoeyB up, for sure, and ignite a fresh battle of wits that’ll leave me feeling exhilarated. At least for a little while.

You seem to know a lot of details about a movie you’re trying toconvince us you don’t like. How many times have you watched it, Buck?

What can I say? My ex loved it, and I was a good boyfriend.

If you were so good, then why is she your ex? #icallbullshit

Ouch.Going right for the jugular today, I see. I’m still trying to come up with a clever response when JoeyB posts another comment.

JoeyB@JoeVSVolcano

I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made this personal. I’m deleting my last comment.

My eyes widenas I read thecomment for a second time. Did he just…apologize? Before I can reply, both the dig about my ex and the apology for it disappear. A laugh barks out of me, unbidden. That “sorry” was just for me, then, and JoeyB didn’t want the rest of my followers seeing him back down.

A new comment replaces the deleted ones, and I quickly read it.

Anna needed someone goofy and adorable like William. He was something real in her life when everything else was fake.

That may be true, but that doesn’t automatically equate to love. And he was infatuated with her, sure, but she brought nothing to his life but chaos, confusion, and disappointment prior to the HEA.
