Translation of a conversation about love at Elisabeth's

Elisabeth: It's been three months with my new boyfriend.

Odette: (she is in her 80s) That's wonderful

Elisabeth: I'm not sure. Usually it is much shorter.

Odette: I've been married to the same wonderful man for 62 years. (Old man with her beams and leaves the store) I say that because he likes to hear it. (She takes her oranges and tomatoes and starts to leave.)

Elisabeth: Odette; Odette wait. Here's a real love story. (she points to Rick and me and tells her how we met 35 years ago but only married in 2013.)

Me: It's never too late for love.

Odette: (takes my hand and nods wisely.

The people in line behind us are smiling.

Does love spread...? Maybe. I hope so.
