That's how one senior government figure described their mood as the prime minister, his foreign secretary and Number 10 team left the White House having cemented Sir Keir and President Trump's personal relationship; secured a commitment to NATO; the prospect of a trade deal that could spare the UK from tariffs and the presidential nod on the Chagos deal.
They came out feeling that all the pieces fell into place with wins for the UK on trade and a "special" Keir Starmer coming through talks with President Trump that you could have a positive relationship with President Trump.
The first was the president's genuine love for the UK and Sir Keir's team's understanding that President Trump is driven by personal relationships.
Keir Starmer's deal to transfer sovereignty over the Chagos Islands, where the US has a critical military base, to Mauritius, was backed by President Trump, a hugely welcome moment for a PM who has been heavily criticised about the deal back home.
Sir Keir Starmer, the ponderous lawyer, has I'm told also built a genuinely warm relationship with President Trump: "They genuinely like each other and find each other easy to speak to," is how one observer put it.
