If you turned your back to this view you might have spied a middle-aged married couple, choosing to sit side by side at a small wooden table so that they could both enjoy the view.
You might have overheard him asking her, if her gelato was good and in response she would ask him if he wanted to try it. He would say "no" he just wanted to know if she liked it, she would say "yes" and look at him while thinking and grinning, after what is almost thirty years now he still wonders if she enjoys small pleasures and noticing her grin he would ask her what was so funny.
