Woman's Happiness (Objects that Tell Stories)

Someone once said that love consisted in overestimating the difference between one woman and another. But for her, love was something else.

She liked to put on high heels and red lipstick. She also liked it when the room was somehow hot and when the movement accelerated their breathing.

She especially liked it when the two bodies were connected to one another… her skirt was meeting his pants, her blouse was now meeting his shirt.

This new humanity was touching. And the objects around her were characters in her holistic world.
