    “ Wow. Carla was certainly playing the long-game here. So much blindness. So much cluelessness. So much hope. This short play by JACQUELYN FLOYD-PRISKORN will leave audiences with a sweet smile on the faces. JUST CHARMING. ”

    “ What a sweet reminder of the joy of finding the right someone - even if that right someone has been right in front of you the whole time. The dialogue is natural and flows effortlessly. This short would be a real crowd-pleaser at festivals. Well done! ”
