Sitting in a restaurant,

having lunch with a friend,

feasting on laughter and stories,

I caught the eye of a woman

at a table nearby. 

She nodded and smiled.

As we were leaving, 

we exchanged a look and a smile.

” I enjoyed watching you two,” she said.

 ” I enjoyed your enjoyment,” I replied.

The man at her table cracked up.
