She roared with laughter. Passersby gave her strange looks, but she didn't care. If she'd been able to stretch her vision to see beyond the trees he disappeared behind, she would have stopped laughing. She would have seen the couple who'd been in the dark street near the restaurant the previous night, again breaking into laughter when he felt it was safe to abandon the Wally persona. Everywhere she saw that one man, she didn't see the woman behind him, with him, beside him, urging him on, supporting him. If she had, she might have wondered then who the display was really for.
She laughed heartily, oblivious to the curious gazes of those around her. In that moment, her joy was undeterred, but if she could have looked beyond the trees, she would have noticed the couple from the previous night, laughing together as he momentarily shed his facade. This revelation could have shifted her perspective.
In her amusement, she failed to recognize the woman who accompanied the man, nurturing and supporting him in their relationship. If she had seen this dynamic, it might have prompted her to question the authenticity of his playful display and consider who the laughter was intended for, revealing a deeper layer to their connection.
