10 Things I Like About Him

He is much smarter than he pretends to be

He has nice hands

He appreciates clever alliteration

He casually drops dead-pan puns

He drinks scotch (yes, I noticed)

He’s tall

He’s a gentleman

He asked before he kissed me

He looks great in a hat

He appreciates “Happy Pants”

Soooooooooo, I could probably make time in my schedule to see him again; reschedule this meeting, cancel that appointment, etc, etc, etc

I really am trying to keep it under 100k, just like the New York Publishers have splashed all over their blogs.
