Love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take

Things I saw on my way to work this morning...

A man in a black shirt and striped tie carefully carrying a large flower arrangement along the platform at Reading station. It was made of pink carnations, and shaped like a crucifix. A small plastic holder held a message card.

A smartly-dressed lady with spirally-curled hair staring at the departure boards. What she saw made her look terribly worried.

A teenaged girl standing on the escalator with her eyes closed. Her bright purple headphones were vibrant against her dyed red-orange hair.

A middle-aged man in beige slacks dancing to The Supremes as he lovingly polished his extremely elderly and decrepit Jaguar.
