Hi Greta.

Comments

[etherthief]

I just want you to know that I think you're wonderful and amazing and an excellent baker.

[etherthief]

You are also very beautiful.

[etherthief]

I love your hair and your face. I want to touch both of them. In a real nice way.

[etherthief]

Greta I know we just met in the relative scheme of things and you don't know me all that well but I think I might be in love with you. You probably didn't realize a woman could love another woman like that? I don't know we've never talked about your relative understanding of gender and sexual norms. But I can teach you about that stuff. Not for ME, for you.

[etherthief]

You're so lovely. I hope this isn't too much.

You're the first person I've ever been shy around since I was sixteen years old

I thought about you in the shower one time and I felt really bad about it later and I NEVER FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT

I let them take Rush. I left him. I was all he had and I left him.
