The pub had dimmed lights and music playing, but only two patrons.
The man, he had lost his wife that day. She was not that old, still in her young forties, but Death didn't discriminate for age.
The woman, she had lost a finance that day. Not from death, but from abandonment. Her wedding had become the saddest day.
As "The Girl From Ipanema" by Getz and Gilberto began to play the two of them noticed each other and their pain. They didn't know one another before that moment, but as they danced together, they didn't feel so alone anymore.
