His eyes focused, for a moment, on the contrast of her otherwise pale skin with the flush of her cheeks as she walked towards the spot where he was leaning on a fire hydrant. “Hello, handsome,” she said. “Hello, gorgeous,” he said as he extended his hand, palm up, and revealed a bright yellow lemon.
