The It Couple

Here he comes! And SHE is with him! Adoration. Love. Pure fans. Crazy with enthusiasm for the “it” couple. Someone screams. Others stare. This is not the Beatles. He does not hold the door open. Like in the movies. She does not smile. They do not hold hands. Fantasy begins unraveling fast. He notices us, and pops on the “it” smile. There it is! We begin oohing and ahhing in our minds, anyway, I do. She puts on her “it” smile. Then she opens her mouth and speaks. Harsh ugly sounding accent. Nasally and rude like. They have become less than normal. Falling from Mount Olympus with a loud crash into the sea of abnormal and ridiculous.
