Chilone's
Love Story

Not related by blood. Connected by destiny. Possibly delusion. This is the site where Chilone says the quiet part out loud.

See Her ✦How It Started

This is the smile I get when 'You're the One That I Want' comes on in public.

A note from Chilone

“Some women dream of diamonds. Some dream of vacations. I dream of John Travolta showing up in a white polyester suit and asking me to dance. Everybody keeps telling me he doesn't know who I am. Okay. He's got time.”

— Chilone, probably

Words She Lives By

“

Some women want a ring. I want a dance floor and a man who points at the sky.

“

I'm not difficult. I'm just waiting for a partner who knows the choreography.

“

My blood type is Grease Positive.

“

Saturday Night Fever isn't a movie to me. It's a diagnosis.

“

I don't need him to know me yet. I need him to know the steps.

“

Stayin' alive. Mostly so I can meet him.

The Reason

He is not the subject of this website. He is the cause. Kept small, on purpose, the way she keeps him: at a distance, in a frame, looking good.
