Hi there! I think you're overthinking this, but I can see that you've tried :smiley: Here's what it's looking for:

name = "justine"
subject = "Treehouse loves " + name

We set our name variable equal to "justine" (just as you have done). Then we create subject and assign to it "Treehouse loves " and concatenate the value of name onto the end. If you were to now print out the value of subject it would print "Treehouse loves justine". Hope this helps! :sparkles:
