Today I Saw Emma Watson
Missed Connections in Rhode Island
Dear Emma Watson,
I thought I was prepared to spot you around town and then be really charming and say something like “excuse me, do you know where Brown is?” Or, “excuse me, but you seem like a very shy and unknown person, can I buy you a cup of tea?” Or maybe even “excuse me, but once my friend approached your friend Draco Malfoy and weirded him out.” Unfortunately I just took a drink from my coffee cup and did nothing because I, apparently, am a giant loser.
But my dearest Emma (since I’ve seen you on the street from afar before I feel close enough to call you dearest,) we will meet again, and I will have my wits about me. Or you could respond to this missed connection because you probably don’t have much to do now that Harry Potter is over and all.
Sincerely,
Your Friend/Future Cup of Tea Buyer
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
Oh my… while I generally encourage folks to speak up when meeting someone who catches their fancy, this may be a case where staying quiet is the better course of action. Sorry poet, but you’re going to need to come up with a few new magical spells (and pick-up lines) before Emma returns to campus next year!
