Mrs. Hyde

Thursday night, I walked out of my office building toward the intersection as usual. I spotted these two younguns in suits, a girl and a very effeminate boy, walking toward me. They were deeply engaged in some lively conversation. He was talking with his hands and neither one of them were really paying any attention to where they were going.

I sat next to this lady once before.  She only said hi and went back to napping.  No talking.  No nothing.  She seemed nice.  But anytime Bruin Bill is on the bus, she would be cozying up with him and chat her mouth off.
