A quiet day along my route – I looked high and low, but saw nothing of interest.

However, entering the subway tunnel for my commute home, I immediately spotted a large gold-colored teardrop earring with a black stone in the center lying on the ground. I looked around a little, and sure enough, a bit to my left was a woman in a matching earring. I handed her the one I found, and went back to my position. Another woman, who was standing in between me and the woman with the lost earring, said something to lost-earring woman, who laughed. And then the woman who’d spoken said something to me.

‘Huh?’ I said, removing my headphones (I can’t hear a thing with them on).

‘I said, you are very observant,’ she repeated.

So, I suppose this blog series is already having the intended effect!
