She packed: an extra bar of pride, and some good shoes.
He packed: 4 shirts, a pair of jeans, AMEX.
She flew: 4 hours, west-bound, on green vinyl seats.
He flew: away from monsoon, to where summer was budding.
She craved: long talks, mango cheeks.
He craved: diversification of portfolio.
She: tried her hand at the breakfast thing.
He: stepped on her shoe 7 times in 9 days.
She wrote while he worked.
It rained while they were warming up;
And sweltered as they rode silent in the car.
She: alleviated, sedate, monochromatic.
He: huddled on to the next busy station.
