(For example, for the letter A it was the 26th word on the list, for Z it was the 1st word on the list)
“What a happy mural. Don’t you just love that couple? Makes me want to dance.” She twirled her boyfriend around in a circle. “How long has it been here? I don’t remember seeing it last time I visited.”
He stood back and stared at it. “I’m really not sure. I don’t think I’ve seen it before.”
“Play some music on your phone and dance with me.”
He looked around and seeing no one near, he pulled out his phone and asked, “Fast or slow?”
“I think slow. That’s much more romantic.” She wrapped her arms around his neck as he chose a playlist, set the volume and swayed them both towards the bench under the brooding elm tree where he set it down.
They danced the night away….
A few days later, another couple came by. “Oh honey, look at that great mural! Don’t they look happy?”
He didn’t respond and she looked back at him. He had stopped by the bench under the tree and showed it to her. “Look! Someone left their phone here.”
“Wow, any ID on it?”
“Let me look.” She stared at the mural and sighed. “Looks like all that’s on here is music.”
“Oooh, goody! Play something slow and let’s dance!”
So they did, and before the night was done, there were now three happy couples dancing in silhouette on the mural.
The phone waited on the bench…
Thank you.
