The Meeting

March 2nd, 2008 by galadriel

He walks in. She’s sitting at a table in the far corner of the room, reading. Just the sight of her crouched over like that brings about a change in his face. He walks over across the hall. She looks up. Her face lights up as she sets eyes on him. He smiles and sits down. They hold hands. Both of them have radiant smiles on their faces and they seem to be blissfully oblivious to the world around them.

*Two people I observed, who seemed to be so hopelessly in love with each other that it was clearly difficult for them to hide their feelings. Incredibly sweet, the air about them. Had to be put down as a memory.
