The tingle of the bell on the door announced the arrival of new customers in the little diner I was sitting in. It was a pleasant looking couple, the man; tall with dark hair and hazel eyes, the woman; petite with red hair and piercing blue eyes, she was stunning in a way that differed from movie stars, but she seemed to capture attention just by being in the room. They looked to both be in their 40's, though the man older than the woman. I looked around and noticed that I was not the only one who noticed this exquisite couple.
They walked in holding hands, the woman slightly leaning against the man. He looks down on her and whispered something in her ear which she must've found amusing since she smiled and lovely smile, which light up her whole face. The man seemed pleased by having being part of the smile appearing on her face, so he started smiling himself. He looked up as if he could sense I was watching them so I quickly adverted my eyes. When I looked back, they were walking towards a booth that was out of the way, he was leading her with his hand on the small of her back.
When they sat, they sat beside each other, which I found odd. It was soon shown to me as to why they sat on the same side. He kept whispering things into her ear which would make her smile. Every five minutes or so, they would both look up at the door as if expecting someone. I found this couple oddly intriguing, they seemed to need to be close to each other, and wherever their bodies weren't touching the air buzzed with electricity. I had finished my meal a couple of minutes ago, but I couldn't stop watching them, so I ordered a piece of sweet potato pie.
Finally the people that the man and woman seemed to be expecting came into the diner. They stopped and looked around, spotting the couple they made their way over. It was an elderly woman with a pinched face holding the hand of a gorgeous little boy. Just one look at this boy told me he had to belong to this couple. He had wavy auburn hair, giant blue eyes and the nose of the man, though slightly thinner. The little boy looked at his feet the whole time.
Once they reached the table I saw the woman tear up and the man wrap an arm around her reassuringly. I heard the old woman say something about the little boy, that they're lucky the family who adopted him was willing to give him back The woman looked terribly upset by the accusing tone of the older woman. Which made me wonder why they even gave up the little boy in the first place, she seems to love him. Her body language showed her wanting nothing more than to hold the little boy. They signed some papers and a good while later the old woman left and the little boy ran into his mother's arms. She hugged him tightly rocking him back and forth while the man wrapped his arms around both of them. They all sat on the booth like that silently crying, until the man stood up, took the woman's hand and nodded his head in the direction of the door. She stood up, quickly gathering the little boy in her arms while the man lead them out of the diner with his hand on the small of her back. As I watched their retreating figures I looked at the boys face filled with happiness snuggled up into his mother's neck. I smiled to myself, as I watched them place the little boy in the back of their car. The man then walked around to her side of the car and opened the door for her, smiling she got in, he bent down and kissed her more passionately than I'd ever seen a man kiss a woman before. He got back up, walked over to his side of the car and they drove off to continue to live their new happier lives.
