In your second line, you have included name inside of the quotes. This will result in the word "name" being included in the string rather than using the value stored in the name variable on the first line.

To complete the challenge correctly, you need to close the quotes after the word "loves", then use a plus sign(+) and the variable called name.

name = "CJ"
subject = "Treehouse loves " + name

The output of this code would result in Treehouse loves CJ.
