still happening
He met a woman, difficult and strange. He liked her. He smiled at her without realizing he was doing it. She smiled back. He felt like dancing. He invited the woman to a cafe. She decided to come. They sat at a table near a fountain and watched the people who came and went. After a while they tired of the table, and went to the fountain itself. They were holding hands unselfconsciously. Such states are not meant to last. They are suspended in an instant that neither begins nor ends, but after a while it is over and can never be recaptured. This doesn't prevent people from trying. Neither he nor the woman thought to force the situation, and as a result their moment did last for a very long time. Indeed, an old man now, he can imagine it is still happening.
