downside of spinsterhood.
Normally public displays of affection just make me cringe. I don’t like watching kissing or romantic overtures in movies or on TV. Not because I’m prude (far, far from it) but because sometimes it’s just painful to see what I’ve never had and sometimes deep down I really would like to know what it feels like to hold hands and be kissed.
Anyway.
So this afternoon a couple came in to pick up their car. They of course gave me the coupon they have to give to service (I’m sure they’re ignoring the sign stating “Present coupons to service writer” in Comic Sans on purpose…) so the RO needed to be reprinted. They wandered off to wait…and I glanced over to see the guy hold out his arm the slightest bit, just this automatic gesture since the girl was behind him. She reached out and wrapped herself around his arm and they walked off. Totally innocuous and uneventful…except it made me misty-eyed and emotional.
Why not me?
