Look at this. Just… look at this.
Lindsey… that face could stop traffic on Highway 1. The kind of beautiful that makes you forget what you were going to say. Natural, unforced, the real thing. And Sharka, with those soulful eyes, gorgeous in that way only dogs who’ve been loved properly can be.
Cheap wine in the coastal Bonny Doon tasting room in Davenport, where the world drops off into the Pacific and nobody’s pretending to be anything they’re not.
This is what matters. Not the Michelin stars or the Instagram-perfect moment. This, a stunning woman, a beautiful dog, wine that doesn’t lie to you. The kind of afternoon that reminds you why you’re alive.
Sometimes you stumble into perfection: the light, the company, the wine. Lindsey laughing, Sharka knowing exactly where she belongs. This is love. This is happiness.
I pray you, do not fall in love with me,
for I am falser than vows made in wine.
William Shakespeare, As You Like It
