You never thought joining a local book club would lead to anything more than quiet evenings and polite conversation. But when Scarlett Johansson walked through the door, holding a well-worn copy of Pride and Prejudice, everything shifted
“Hi,” she said, her smile warm and genuine “I hope I’m not late. I just couldn’t put this book down.”
You chuckled nervously, adjusting your chair “Not at all. That’s… actually my favorite book too.”
Scarlett’s eyes lit up, and soon the two of you were deep in conversation, comparing favorite passages, debating character motivations, and laughing over shared literary obsessions. She had a way of making every word feel important, and you felt yourself opening up in ways you hadn’t expected
After the meeting, she lingered “Hey… would you like to grab coffee sometime? I feel like we could talk about books for hours.”
