Chapter 52 Lost Her

• Though neither of them actually suggested it, they picked up their sandwiches and lost in conversation, they ended up walking to the riverfront. Unlike earlier, when they initially set out from the coffee shop, their side-by-side stroll wasn't nearly as uncomfortable. Yet, a different sort of tension crackled in the narrow space between them.
• Coffee had been consumed, errands run, sandwiches purchased and eaten. There were no further delays. Theodore and she sat side by side on a set of broad, wooden bleachers situated in front of the water for optimal viewing. Street performers once juggled pinballs, spun on their heads, and performed similar feats of wonder before these bleachers.
• Now, except for the odd passers-by or tourists, Theodore and she were the only ones here. As they silently took in the view, Theodore removed his blazer and carefully set it around her shoulders.
