Steps to making my best friend Lance realize I'm in love with him:
[*] Bake him his favorite desserts.
[*] Stare at him in a seductive way (I think).
[*] Accidently open the neighbor's mail.
[*] Realize that the neighbor is being held hostage and we're next.
[*] Why is this list no longer about snagging Lance? Someone, please, send help.
[*] Lance is too handsome to die, I mean. the bad guy's not really going to kill us, right?
[*] I have a knife so I can protect the man of my dreams.
[*] I don't know how to use the knife.
[*] I have now stabbed myself with the knife.
[*] How is this easier than telling Lance I love him?
