Some people just sparkle

On Sunday i met a young couple in church (well, older than me, but just married last year)

Jane (The wife. Obviously.) came up to me first, just smiling at me which i was a ittle perturbed by at first because i had that slight panicky "i should know you why do i not know you?" feeling until i realised i didn't know her and she was just being friendly.

She just talked to me and for some reason the way she talked and laughed and made everything seem wonderful was so refreshing. And then Steven came along and he talked and he was so sincere and ernest and funny at the same time.

Atone point they were talking about universities, and because our canteen is rather crowded, Steven kept having to get Jane to repeat what she and I had said

The conversation went something like this:

J: So what do you want to study in University?

M: I don't know...I was thinking cultural history or cultural journalism-

J: That is so cool that is really cool Steven did you hear that thats so cool

S: What?

J: She said she wants to study culture in university thats so cool

S: Oh

J: I did linguistics and engineering

M: Nice, what did Steven do?

J: He did economics

M: Oh...math ugh

J: Yeah math ugh (looks sideways at Steven)

S: What?

J: I told her i did linguistics and engirneering and you did economics and she doesn't like math either

S: Sorry i didn't catch that?

J: I said i love you


I think its weird that i feel so attracted to a married (read: Old) couple but honestly their conversation and their personality was just so iridescent and they were so genuine i couldn't help but be drawn in
