Face lift

I watched silently as she walked down the sidewalk, peering into shops. She paused outside of the café, her eyes lingering on the patrons inside enjoying their breakfast. I could see a small child inside with a crayon in their hand scribbling across a picture of a penguin. She smiled and continued walking. The fruit and veg vendor gave his spiel, offering her a sample of freshly cut watermelon. She took the offered sample cup and continued on around the corner. I lost sight of her and quickened my pace. The busy shop fronts were left back around the corner behind us. Far less foot traffic walked down this path.
