That's very touching to hear Jean 🥹❤️

Often I feel like I'm alone in the world but not last night. Mercedes rides, high-toned London Hotel, and down-home KFC with JK Rowling, who listened so well I felt like I was the only person in the room. Great guests. Wonderful assistants too. A night to be remembered.
