Soft jazz plays in the background. The night is cool, the wind playful, the air filled with the undiscernable shallow mumbling of various lovers.
We are all together here but no one looks at each other. I carry the drink back to my table, smiling slightly, letting my gaze deepen-- my eyes, smouldering, intent upon the beautiful sight before me.
As I sit with a hopeful sigh, I smile more widely at my love. Sweet memories bring us closer-- quiet nights, rainy days, late mornings, disturbed only by the thrumming of my heart, the gasps of heady breaths, the moans of boundless pleasure.

As my bite deepens, the sound of pure love escapes my body as it claims my soul, my thoughts and my whole being.
For that moment of undiluted love, I am spent, in a world other than mine, where only crispy chicken burgers exist and ketchup is unnecessary, a pollutant.
