They sit together on the couch, a foot and a half between the two of them, a lovely young couple.
How long have you two been together? I ask.
They look at each other. We’re just friends right now.
I couldn’t hide my surprise.
I just got out of a long relationship, she says.
But you’ve proposed to her? I asked him. He nods.
He’s head over heels for you, I say to her.
She laughs, then tells me she’s 25, and six years older than him.
I look at him, boyish, fearless. I look at her, and finally notice the age in her eyes.
You have to be– I started to say.
Careful?
I smile, he’s in good hands.
In the corner, love awaits. I can almost see it, against all odds, this beautiful, original, fearless love.
