* Friday evening, outside the CVS on Dupont Circle, the woman on her phone says, "OK, thanks for listening. Hope you have fun there."
* 22 & P, one Thursday evening: Two guys, one woman, turn the corner. The woman hugs her friend goodbye, while the other guy stands aside. She goes her way; her friend returns to his guy, holds his hand as they walk into The Fireplace, a famous gay bar here.
* Starbucks, Dupont Circle, Sunday, "Hope I didn't make you come too far," the guy says. "No, I live in Adams Morgan," she says. "Thanks for meeting me," he says. "See you tomorrow."
* Connecticut Avenue, Sunday, outside Kramer's books: Dad, then Mom, hug their son goodbye. They seem grateful and happy to have been together, sad to part, though they aren't showing it yet. Their brief mundane small talk after the hugs confirms this, and their love too.
All this: Love Actually.
