I placed my fingertip against his
left lens, and then his right, and drew the go-to picture girls have drawn on
fogged windows throughout the ages: a heart. It was an iconic image that never
seemed more trite, nor more apt, than at that moment.
Plus? He could see through a heart.
Plus? It would disappear in a
matter of seconds.
Fair using her fingertip to draw in the fog on Gomery's glasses very nearly became the poster for "Stay Awhile." I hemmed and hawed (someday we should discuss the subtle differences between hemming and hawing) and then ultimately decided on the poster at right, the green wallpaper one.
But the foggy glasses still nagged at me. And then? And then! And then this beautiful illustration recently showed up in my inbox, made by the talented Caitlin D.
(Yep, there are two Caitlins who visit the Wilfairverse now. Have you guys met Caitlin O., who now is stopping by Wilfair HQ? The nutsy thing about the Caitlins is they know each other away from here. MAGICAL.)
Caitlin D., I've been looking at this illustration for a few days now and, as is sometimes said 'round these parts, I'm still not over it. It nearly brings me to tears, which would fog up my own glasses. Thank you so much. What's weirder is we never discussed this moment, nor that it was nearly the poster. MAGICAL.
She even went one step further, my lovely people: She created two separate iPhone images, one for version 4 and one for 5. Please. I'm about to truck a certain word out one more time: MAGICAL.
