Why this must be read: Through a series of notes and text messages, americnxidiot  ives us a fun, flirty, and heartfelt look at the early days of Leslie and Ben's actual-but-super-secret relationship, circa "The Bubble." The giddiness of two otherwise reasonable adults that we see onscreen is present in full force here, and I dare you not to smile when he writes, "Give me a number between one and ten."

PS. Lunch in the courtyard?
PPS. Ron was rambling about FDR again, and I started to talk to him about that depression documentary we watched the other night. Then I started to think about what happened after the documentary, and I had to leave the room. I couldn’t stop smiling.

Okay, now I’m smiling again, and Tom’s giving me a weird look, so bye for real now.
