{"product_id":"big-night-by-universal-flowering","title":"Big Night","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMay 30th 2024\u003cbr\u003eDearest A,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI am writing this from the kitchen table, the very table we’ve spent many nights, dissecting everything over a bottle of wine. I see the alleyway outside, the same old mess of concrete and chaos you’re used to. I’ll cut to the chase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis name is M. Isn’t that a strong name? It crosses my lips easily, and I like saying it. He speaks in facts but also in metaphors, and his hands are calm, elegant, strong. He should be a poet. His limbs mirror mine, and we laugh a lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe met at the party. It was a flirtatious and long night. It was a genuine one. His flawless charm warned me, but quickly won me. He listened and asked. I found myself wanting to learn about anything he spoke of. I wanted him to think I was intelligent before he thought I was captivating. There's a difference!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis theatre is one of assuredness. There is a soundtrack that comes with him. He comes to me exactly as I like, without having to be told. He speaks of the future in the conditional tense, a series of generous, realistic plans. A trip to Sicily. Moving to Montreal. Dinner on Thursday. It is the sheer plausibility of him that gets me. There is no fable to him, no twist I have to contort myself to fit. He is simply here. Like this table. Like the alleyway. His presence feels like a return to a room I had but didn’t know. One that holds all things precious to me, canopied. It’s less like coincidence and more like logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven the unknown feels different this time. It feels academic. One look at his calm, gentle face, his warm tones, the way he looks at me as if I could contain the entire understanding of time. I think I needed that reflection. I think perhaps this is a love affair of necessary drama, but also quiet natural formation. Erosion can be beautiful. Stillness has motion. Layer upon layer of ordinary, until it becomes something solid enough to build a life on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou might say I am doing it again, building a cathedral and sanctifying warmth because I am hungry. Listen, I am thinking it, too. But for now, the fact remains: there is M. And for the first time, that fact does not feel like the beginning of a familiar story. It feels like the end of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’ll call you soon.\u003cbr\u003eAll of my love,\u003cbr\u003eC\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Flowering","offers":[{"title":"50ml","offer_id":51032794005825,"sku":"928015","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15ml","offer_id":51032794038593,"sku":"928015_R","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1ml spray","offer_id":51032794071361,"sku":"928015_S","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/928015.jpg?v=1764097209","url":"https:\/\/checkout.luckyscent.com\/products\/big-night-by-universal-flowering","provider":"Luckyscent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
