Introduction
"I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul."
~Pablo Neruda~
​
When was the last time you laughed so hard you couldn’t catch your breath?
Not the awkward, agonized noise you make when you have to ask someone a third time for their name, or even the hearty chuckle you give at a solid joke. I mean a true, unbridled laugh—your stomach hurts, tears are streaming down your face, where suddenly every single thing is funny and the slightest word can make you collapse back into giggles. One where the come-down after such an explosion is almost post-coital.
Is it bold of me to wish that I could do that for you?
I never feel more alive than when I laugh. And ultimately, that’s what I want for you — I want you to feel yourself coming alive in my presence, to finally feel like you can simply be yourself without pretense or seriousness.
Perhaps we’ll find ourselves hiking the fog-covered trails of Mount Tam, thighs burning the entire way, only to be caught breathless with wonder at the view from the top. Maybe we’ll dance the night away at a salsa class, drunk on the gorgeous music and the feeling of being in each others' arms.

In other moments over a deliciously inventive meal at Robin, we may feel as if we're we were discovering each other for the first time, eyes glancing at one another in a shy intimacy that feels too naked for such a public setting. Or, simply, we may find ourselves nestled luxuriously in bed, eyes fluttering open, excited for a morning of coffee and long kisses and a day where anything could happen.
​
There is nothing more that I’d want for you than an experience of unbridled joy that energizes and buoys you through whatever else comes your way. My greatest delight after an unhurried, blissful time of unwrapping and exploration with you is the sacred art of putting everything back together again. I want to ease you back into the world outside, a world made more beautiful by the time we've spent in each other's arms. Lingering in our thoughts is the excitement and anticipation for when we’ll see each other next, waiting to return and discover each other anew.
​
Adventures await us. Won't you join me?
