Aorta

– It's Valentine's Day. Again.
– Indeed... The shops have been awash with pink for weeks. Positively aglow.
– You're not busy this evening?
– No, no... Thought I'd just have a quiet night in.
– Of course. It's good to have a few hours by oneself: get away from the crowds.
– Yes. I've never been one for crowds. The noise, the bustle.
– And restaurants are awkward around this time: if you're not in a couple. Restaurants seem to be expecting couples. Around this time.
– But then, who wants to go out dining all the time?
– Exactly. Now and again, fine. But all the time, hardly.
– Although –
– Although?
– Although now and again would be nice.
