Molly Erikson: luckiest girl in the world

Favorite Things: Connections that feel effortless and charged at the same time Restaurant banquettes placed just right (so you can glimpse a sliver of silk and skin) Your laugh Lovers and friends who crave freedom and pleasure Your deep sigh of release The worst joke, pitched so only you can hear, with my most innocent smile Meeting new dogs Your body, with all its history and experience Velvet lounges, low lights, winks Your hand on the small of my back A toast of champagne, tiny bubbles rising like a promise Banter that makes the barkeep loosen his collar Quoting Bill Murray while stealing your fries
