A Heart For Her Mates

My heart, and other parts, have never felt like this before.

I don’t care about Valentine’s Day, I have a much more important goal: to meet up with my chatroom friends and witness an alien landing. It would be even better if we could make contact with one of them. Deep contact preferably. Keep it together, Jen, focus on the mission.

Please don't judge. I really am interested in learning about extra-terrestrial life and would love the chance to teach them about humanity. I can't help it if my mind wanders south every time I imagine meeting an alien or two. Also, I think I would make an awesome ambassador for humankind. I'd be sure to give them a welcome they wouldn't forget.

It’s getting late and my friends haven’t showed up yet. What on earth could be delaying them? I'll just have to press forward and see if I can arrange an encounter on my own.
