I wondered who the elegant woman dressed head to toe in black was. She was biting her lip while glancing constantly around in all directions. It is amazing who you notice when you are waiting for the bus. Every night at the same time I stand here and watch the world go by until my transport home comes.

In particular I love to watch the london dating scene. Nervous individuals constantly looking at themselves in shop windows worried that they will not measure up to their dates expectations. They need not worry though because almost every couple when leaving the restaurant, has consumed enough alcohol to make the most hideous person look like their dream lover. As soon as they think no one is watching, they start caressing each other like naughty teenagers who don't want to get caught by their parents.The next week they appear at the same restaurant with a different date, there have been plenty of red faces that I have secretly giggled at. That is the downside to the London dating scene, it might be big enough but you are always guaranteed to run into last weeks conquest.

I had never seen the lady in black before though and believe me, I had seen many couples walk in and out of that restaurant. People that were putting themselves out and about on the london dating scene. It is obvious the woman in black had a date that she was waiting for as she had waited outside the restaurant for the last half hour. She was a newcomer to the london dating scene, her clothes told it all, elegant but definitely not the type that you would wear on a first date.

The answer to my questions comes quite quickly as a tall, smooth looking, dark man comes running up, and wraps his arms around her. The hug is obviously overwhelming her, as she giggles like a little school girl whilst returning the affection.

Something is different about this couple, they know each other, they look comfortable in each others presence. I start to feel a touch of jealousy that two people can experience a warm confident friendship like that. It is only when they start walking towards the restaurant that his hand falls down swinging by his side and I notice the gold band on his wedding finger. Is he her lover?. Is he her husband?. I will never know but I will always remember the vibes flowing between them and hope that one day I will have the fortune to experience the same.
