‘Hey, it’s Mike. You know, the guy who’s been shamelessly stealing glances whenever you walk by. I’ve got this thing for people who can pull off a red tie and black jacket like nobody’s business—and you wear it better than anyone I know. So here’s the thing: I like you. Yeah, I said it. And if you’re up for it, I’d love to hear you say it back. Just a little yes, that’s all I’m asking for.’
