Bath

I visited Bath with my sister today. The ancient roman baths and mineral waters have been used for century's as a cure to ailments like gout and arthritis. Mindy and I listened to a walking tour of the areas made famous by Jane Austen. Jane loved the area and based two of her novels there.
I felt inspired to become a romantic author when I heard three lines spoken outside a plaza in Bath. These three lines, spoken by two people, could be the first lines of an intriguing love story.
Here is the scene:
A man in his late forties departed from his tan van that had been parked on the cobblestone street on the corner of York and Abbey Streets in Bath. The man was dressed in a pair of pants that matched the same khaki and tan color of his van. He sauntered across the stone paved walkway speaking to a woman wearing her previously blond, but now grey hair in tight and short curls, who was also walking through the square towards him, "Hello" he said in a friendly manner. "Hello!" the woman replied with an inflection on the O which signified an energetic reply to the man's greeting, or the man himself. The man continued the conversation, "Isn't is strange that we've never met, but we recognize each other?" This is where I walked around the corner of the Abbey and could no longer hear the continuing introduction. Yet I immediately thought that those three lines would be a fantastic beginning to an Austen in the 21st century story that reflects back to why they know each other enough to meet in a public plaza, but had never actually met. And why the van? The van may be a central character in the developing plot.
