An Affair

As I was getting out of my car last night the doors opened in the car next to me and a very elderly couple emerged. The driver, a white haired man, walked with a cane. He stood on his side of the car urging his partner, a tiny and obviously frail woman, to get a hustle on it. So the two very slowly move toward the restaurant door, he with his cane and she with her walker. I hurried to open the door for them, smiled, and asked "is this a date or just a regular dining out night?" He thanked me for opening the door, gave me a charming smile and replied "it's an affair." And I think that's a good definition of love don't you? !
