WE ONLY WANT TO KNOW ONE THING BENEDICT
by Marija Smits
Yep, I’m playing yet another brainy guy.
But it’s great, and I’m learning so much.
Will there be romance?
What, now I’m a movie star?
I think that would be incredible…
That is what should happen.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Like most middle-aged women, I have a thing for Benedict Cumberbatch. I pretend that I’m interested in his films and his acting, but really, there is only one thing worth knowing: Will there be romance?
