How do you solve the code which adds the two strings together? I'm typing: subject = "Treehouse loves" + name

If the title isn't clear.. I'm trying to solve this code challenge. It's asking that I add two variables together in a string. Here is what I typed:

subject = "Treehouse loves" + name

clearly I'm missing something but I can't figure out what it is!

strings.py 
name = "bob"
subject = "Treehouse loves" + name

Don't forget your space. Otherwise your name ends up right up against loves. ;)
