Clearly you’re the woman of his fictional dreams, Izzy. Pencil in your hair, great complexion, and an excellent editor. A romance built through Track Changes.

You’ve been reading too much Wodehouse. Or Shakespeare. I can’t figure out which one?
Izzy
PS: The only hearts involved with Eli and me are of the fictional variety.

I’ve decided to quit school and marry Andrew.
We’re an excellent match. He watched a Hallmark movie with me yesterday and didn’t laugh when I got all emotional. Will you be my maid of honor? Josephine would never approve.

PS: April Fools’!
PPS: Except the Hallmark part. And Josie part.
PPPS: Aren’t most men clueless about romance?
