Clear Water

Ray and Tanya were comfortable together. At dinner Ray would hold Tanya's chair and look at her when she talked. He seemed interested and sweet. Tanya smiled  and also seemed to return Ray's interest. From a distance they looked like a happy couple that were still getting to know each other. This is how they wanted others to see them. The plan was simple.  Be somewhere public but act in a way that a casual viewer would just see their behavior, disregard and pass over their table for something of more interest. Ray and Tanya wanted to blend in among the sea of people. Ray would say, "let's be two drops of water in this glass", looking at the glass of water the waiter just filled. Tanya would then say, "how about the ocean...that glass in little tiny.."
 
They would smile after this exchange and begin the conversation their handlers had planned for the evening.
