She was black and white while the rest of the world was color. He met her because he wanted to take a picture of her because she was interesting looking. So he walked up to her and said, I’m putting two dollars in your can and then I’m taking your picture because you’re interesting looking. She hadn’t been looking at him but after that she was, he noticed. He took her picture. He could have sworn she smiled a little.
He went back the next day to where she had been the previous day and there she was, in black and white. He put money in her can again and she looked at him again. Whatever it is people say with glances and looks, they said those things, he thought. He didn’t take her picture. Rather, he introduced himself and made small talk. She said nothing but probably smiled a little again. She didn’t look away. He ran out of things to tell her so excused himself. Until tomorrow.
He wondered later if she would continue to look at him if he didn’t put money in her can.
He was not rich so didn’t want to fall in love.
