Holding hands

Normally I think this is all a bit trite. Hmmm...well, I think I mean trite. If trite means - a bit too co-dependent, showy and forced then that's what I mean.

This afternoon on my way back from the gym, I walked behind a couple who were holding hands and was actually quite touched by it. *gag*

I think it had something to do with being unexpectedly affected by Shopgirl last night.



There were tears involved. In fact there was both general crying and sobbing involved.

But with the couple this afternoon it was cute watching them walk at the same pace and let their hands gradually intertwine. It was like one was still unsure of whether the other wanted to hold hands or not. One time the girl pulled her hand away as she went for her bag so the guy went to scratch his other arm.

Then when she was done, they both lowered their arms again and held hands.

I found it cute. I'm not used to that. I normally find it nauseating.

Now I just feel unnerved...
