Yay! This series is back!
One couple was in their late twenties. The husband was a tall handsome man with black hair, brown eyes and olive complexion, he wore a checked short-sleeve shirt over blue jeans and comfortable sneakers. Beside him walked a gorgeous woman with fine brown eyes and a smile that lit up his life. She wore a relaxed lightweight sleeveless white blouse over tan walking shorts. These two people were very easy in each other’s company, taking in the pleasures of the afternoon as they moved in the midst of a happy throng in their city.

Cocking his head ever so slightly, the scientist looked momentarily confused and answered innocently. “Didn’t I say that?”
You can take the scientist out of the lab, but his speech is still scientific.
Love the last line! Bernie is SO in love!!
Looking forward to part 2, and yet that means the conclusion of this delightful story. [sigh]
