The night should echo

principle — attributed to Holly Peterson

A gathering does not end when guests leave. Peterson follows up the next day with a playlist, a candid photo nobody knew she took, or an email connecting two guests who should know each other. The follow-up is the final beat of intimacy, the real close, the grace note that turns a dinner into a memory.

It's a final beat of intimacy. The real close. The real grace note.
