A Budding Romance or a Forbidden Affair?

I sat at a table near one of the exits of the union’s food court, close enough to hear but far enough away that no one suspected that I was listening. As I watched, a man dressed in khaki shorts and a navy blue sweatshirt came through the line with a plate full of four biscuits drowned in white gravy and some sizzling bacon. It made my mouth water. As he checked out he said something witty to the pretty blonde cashier and she rewarded him with a wide smile. He walked away from the cash register and sat down at a table that was only a few feet away from me and started eating. I tried to observe him without being noticed and he ever detected me watching him. He was too intent on eating. He kept picking up his gravy-drenched biscuits with his fingers and then licking his fingers with loud smacks. It was disgusting. He also kept making gaga eyes at the cashier that had smiled at him earlier. At first I just thought he was being creepy but then I noticed that every once and a while she would turn around and flash a smile in his direction. The first time she did this I thought she was smiling at me. I finally caught on the second or third time she turned that she was actually looking at him. I noticed a wedding ring on her left hand and it made me wonder. Could this be her husband? Her brother? A secret lover? After he finished eating the man got up and threw away his trash at the trashcan right next to her register (even though there were other trashcans that were closer to the table he was sitting at) and he said something else to her while he was there and she laughed. When he walked back to his seat he was so distracted by her that he sat at the wrong table! He didn’t even notice his mistake because he just kept watching her. He eventually got up to leave and after a bit of searching he went and picked up his backpack from the table he was originally sitting and walked up to talk to the cashier again. I guess he must have told her that he was leaving because she came out from behind her register and gave him a hug and he gently kissed the lips. I guess it wasn’t her brother. Then he waved and walked out the door.
