His scrawled note said, “Coffee?” Her reply said “Convince me.” She’d read the novels: true love needs a little jeopardy.

Hi Judy – yes, I’m not sure what has happened there! The second para should read: “His scrawled note said ‘Coffee?’. Her reply said ‘Convince
me’. She’d read the novels. True love needs a little jeopardy.” :) Thanks for asking!
Ooh, I like this much better! Thanks for clarifying!
And thank you for commenting! Tim has amended it now :)
