She clearly isn’t a regular smoker. They don’t know each other very well, this is kinda their first date and they’re just hanging out in a Roma-ntic city getting acquainted. I think it will go well. They look comfortable and happy. They were very amenable to having their photo taken. I should ask people more, they’re generally positive about being photographed, but then they want to relate and cling, and I just want to fly. I’m getting worse about that, not wanting to deal with humans at all.

After years and years. I always thought it would get easier, but it didn’t. It gets harder. Does that say something about me or them?
