Okay, it wasn't as bad as he'd thought. They'd put  all  the settings to  private, so he wasnt going  to get thousands of people messaging him. And Robert had obviously restrained himself, because there was none of his usual over-the-top-ness there. Just his details, obviously with a different name and photo.
It was the messages that caught his eye though.

Hi Rebecca. I'm Robbie. I just superliked your profile because it seems like we have a lot in common - I love disney  movies too, and pizza and my personal hygiene is always spot on. Would be great to hear from you.

Robbie, thanks for the message but this is an old account and I'm not looking to meet anyone anymore.

Rebecca, that's a real shame - none of my friends are big disney fans, and I thought that you might be someone who would appreciate some funny disney memes

And that's as far as it had  gone. So  what should he do? He wanted to  continue the conversation with her,  but it seemed a bit dishonest to  do  it under a fake identity.  More than a bit actually. But then what was the alternative? Send her a real picture of himself and say 'hi,  I'm really world famous hollywood actor Chris Evans'? I don't think  so.
But maybe it didn't have to be one thing or the other? Maybe he could send her a couple of messages as Robbie and if they got on,  he could always tell her the truth later. Chances were that it would never get to that stage. They'd probably exchange a couple of messages and that would be it. He did have some very funny disney memes - Rob was on right on the money there. But which one to send her? And what to say?

He realised that he was smiling as he sent it, imagining her smiling. And suddenly everything seemed a bit brighter. Maybe Robert wasn't such an asshole after all.

Author's note:
I really hope that you're enjoying the story and I'd love to hear any comments you have or answer any questions.
Quick question for you guys - does it make sense where I've put a line that Chris has written and then I've put deleted in italics at the end? I kind of meant that to show that he'd written it then deleted it because he can't be that honest yet.
Thanks, C.
