“None of them match?!” Joseph whispers to Joan.
She scans the rainbow display unfettered.
“The sizes aren’t even together.” Joseph continues.
She homes in a few different ones.
“I mean… This bizarre has all kinds stores.” His voice wavers. “I don’t get why we are here.”
She grabs two golden sandals from from different display boards.
“Are you even listening!” He looks at the side of her smiling face.
“The guy behind the counter is blind but not deaf.” She smiles the married woman smile that translates he is not with me.

There actually are more blind people in retail than you would think. I have run into a couple in small town here.
