Second, I followed your advice and asked my friend. It was bourbon, so case closed. And I won’t judge people who eat bread past the expiry date. I drink spoiled milk, and I’m still alive. I’m convinced those BEST BEFORE dates are scams.
I should confess: I don’t know what the rules are here. Do we write once a day? Once a week? Are we supposed to bare our souls or discuss the weather? What do they mean ‘darkest desires’? Like eating spaghetti in my bed with my white sheets? I have no idea. What I do know is that I have more time than I know what to do with, and no one to share it with, so I suppose I’m all in. Whatever this is.
To get us started, tell me ten things you like. Anything. Serious, silly, irrelevant, or strangely specific. Or if you want to go all in, your deepest and darkest desires. After all, that’s what this pen pal program is for, isn’t it?
I want to see how your brain works before I scare you with my list.
Best,
Adam
P.S. I did not expect a llama or capybara threat in my inbox, but I respect it. I want to say I’m glad I didn’t hire you, but you piqued my curiosity, lady. And no, I’m not scared of clowns, but a clown carrying a machete at midnight is an altogether different matter.

Subject: *deep breaths* Ten things you’re not ready for
Adam, Adam, Adam.
You asked for my deepest, darkest desires and honestly I was going to behave but then I remembered, I’ve never been good at that. My parents tried but they couldn’t tame me. Misbehaving is in my DNA (consider this a warning).
So here it is. The most random list of things I like, some of which are absolutelynot safe for work. You’ve been warned. Good thing you work from home.
TEN THINGS AMELIA LIKES:
Stargazing coz I think I was an astronomer in my past life
Hydrangeas in a mason jar over rose every single time
Coffee that actually tastes good
Mirrors. Lots and lots of them because I’m vain
Now off to the NSFW part
Have public sex at least once in my life
