I don't know. It just happened. I think it's first of all, it's all on the page. And then it's all in the podcast, the connection between you and Molly and then on the page, the connection between the characters of Nikki and Molly. Right.

It's to understand the character and imbue her with someone who has complete concern, complete loyalty, ever-expanding love and joy and total access to this other person. Can I get some more blankets?
