About the work

A closer look.

Here are the first three lines of a toast I'd write for you: "Everyone keeps telling me they've never seen you this happy. I want to correct the record. You've been this happy since the night you called me at two in the morning about her laugh. You were just quieter about it. I've watched you look up from your phone mid-sentence for exactly one person. Ten years I waited for that. So here's to the two of you, and to everyone in this room who gets to watch it hold." That's the shape: your person, one detail only you know, a turn that lands. Tell me the story only you know about them. I write the whole three minutes, cut to the bone, and mark where to pause. One revision included. If your date is too close for me to do it right, I tell you no.
