isola to juliet

"I see it that you cared to know about us, so I guess you would like us to know about you--only you just didn't happen to think of it first."

-- excerpt from The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by MaryAnn Shaffer and Annie Barrows

This is brilliant. How I wish I could be this forward. I really do want to know about you. I really want you to know about me. I really want to be friends. Deep down, I think all of us want to be friends. So why do we "play it cool?" Let me try again.

Just so you know, I find you fascinating. Will you tell me about you?

And yes, I mean it.
