Happiness is...

sitting in an off beat coffee/bar (City o City) after work with a writer and listening to him describe writer's block before his wife arrives. She speaks spanish and is attempting to become more proficient with her english. When the waitress comes by the writer won't order for his wife who is forced to attempt to speak english with the waitress (who realizes what is going on and joyfully listens to the wife as she & the writer make a cute couple). After much teasing between the writer and his wife he still flirts with her and tells her he loves her. Hearing her respond that she also loves him is the best moment. Not because of what she says but how she says she loves him. She says it as though she is content and at peace with all the world.

As we leave I can't help but think that love between a couple who speak different languages in an off beat coffee bar is neat.
