of that couple sitting at the table next to me at Arabica. I was with
Mary, and we sat there quietly making fun of them the entire time. I
was drinking bitter ice tea and eating what looked and tasted like
day-old salad. So apparently we go there for the atmosphere and not for
the food. Mary and I sat there as they had their
&;quot;Where-is-our-relationship-going?&;quot; discussion at full
volume for all to hear, while we made stupid comments and I avoided
squirting bitter ice tea through my nose every two
minutes lang="AR-SA" dir="rtl" style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-ansi-language:

the guy interrupted his girlfriend and said to her, &;quot;I love

funny. And because we both knew it was easier than admitting we both
wanted someone to say something equally vomit-inducing to us, cause
we're sick of being single dir="rtl"> style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;
