you’ve never met joe keery before. you barely know who he is, but your mutual friend set you up. “i heard that you’re an actor?” you ask, trying to make some small talk as he drives you to the restaurant. he nods. “yeah.” “so can you act like a stand up guy?” he laughs, knowing you’re nervous. it’s cute. “i’m serious. please, please please- don’t bring me to tears when i just did my makeup so nice.” you babble on. “hey.” he interjects, reaching for your hand.
