Hi, Glory. It’s Gio. I got your note this morning.
[Pause.]
I still want to be friends, and I do want to go to the dance with you. What happened was unexpected to both of us, I think. It was the moment: we both kissed each other, because I kissed you back, and I don’t blame you for running. I might have done the same in your shoes. I think we’re good enough friends that we can get past this.
[If this all sounds scripted it’s because it is. He’s reading it from a piece of paper.]
