BookshopGirl: We’re still on for tonight, right?
RJ.Reads: I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
BookshopGirl: Good. Can we talk logistics? How will I know who you are? I mean, technically speaking, we’re strangers. We could have walked by each other a dozen times today or sat next to each other in a session. I really hope you weren’t the guy in the tweed jacket who was flossing in the row ahead of me during the welcome address.
RJ.Reads: That wasn’t me, I promise. And I think we’ll know when we see each other—but if it helps, I’m wearing a dark blue suit and I can put a crimson rose in my lapel.
BookshopGirl: Just like the movies…Shoot, I have to get moving. How weird would it be if I was late to meet you because I was busy talking to you? I’ll see you soon!
