A couple walking hand in hand down the sidewalk. She's wonderful to watch-- totally animated, smiling, laughing, leaning in towards him to tell him secrets, try to make him respond or laugh, pay attention to whatever it is she's saying. Her face is full of joy-- there's no other place she'd rather be on earth than right here, walking in the fine rain with her man. He looks like he just smelled something bad. Stone faced with his mouth in a sort of pout, sort of frown. He's unresponsive to everything about her. No matter what she does, he just glares straight ahead and keeps walking. Then they are gone. I wonder if he is always like this or just today-- he got a piece of rotten news, he's in a bad mood, whatever. I hope so. I hope she's not wasting all that bliss and happy energy on a Mr. Black Hole.
