Public displays of affection have a line nobody can draw until someone crosses it right next to them. That happened on a dance floor in Calgary. Blue Monday was playing. The couple in question were at least in their late fifties and had completely stopped caring who was watching, possibly decades ago.

Upstairs in the same building, people in their early twenties were standing on their phones, nervous to move. One floor apart. A completely different relationship with being alive in a room.

 

When you stop needing an audience, something opens up. These two knew that. Ryan O'Donnell did not expect to learn it from them on a Friday night, but here we are.
