Audience

There was an older lady, not elderly, but probably mid-60s sitting next to me having a conversation about various things.

As we passed by it, she remarked how she forgot they had opened a City Target downtown, and also how each time the doors open the cold blustery wind chilled her after she just got 'friggin' warmed back up. 

Her fibromyalgia is back, so her joints and muscles ache in this weather. She really hopes her daughter comes and sees her for the holidays as it's been a while. Finally, she mentions how her little dog loves the snow but hates to wear her little blue sweater she spent so much time knitting.

When we entered the tunnel I notice she has no phone, and nobody else is near her. I had inadvertently been the best listener ever as I realize she has been talking to me this whole time. I said the first thing that came to mind:

"Maybe you should have made a pink one."
