My First Fringe (2015)

'According to the map, I only have to go up South Bridge and then turn left at Cowgate and... Oh...'

 

I saw this happen

They weren’t really talking any more, they were just saying unimportant sentences about matters in which they had no interest whatsoever. They were in the middle of a busy street in the Old Town of Edinburgh, in the final days of August, standing very close to one another, so close that they would have felt very uncomfortable if any of them had been a different person. 

     They had stopped talking. He leant forward so that his lips would get closer to hers. She didn’t move so that hers wouldn’t get away from his. And someone said to them:

     `Do you want to see some comedy? It starts at seven fifteen, just round the corner. It’s two for one today, here, take this flyer.´
