I'm currently* sitting in a café next to a couple - at least, I'm convinced that they will become one. They started off finding out how to interact with each other, holding a stop-start conversation that was dotted with moments of joy. Now, these two people who seem slightly awkward have found a flow that is very much unique to them.
They're leaving now. Well, they've agreed to leave in two minutes. They're complimenting each other and leaning forward, fully immersed in a world the size of their table. They've both expressed pride in each other and now they have another date set up. I'm really excited for them; it seems like the start of something special.
As they leave - together and a couple of minutes after their two minutes were up - she momentarily places her head gently on his shoulder. I feel so fortunate to have experienced such a wonderful snippet of their lives.
