One night in a lift...
It was late last night when we came back to our hotel (@ Gurney) from grandma's house. It was booming with music from the Chillout club next door and a wedding being conducted at the hotel ballroom...
We went to the lift, my brother and I, and after a significant wait - we boarded with a few others... but it was an interesting crew that got in - on the corner was a couple, dressed immaculately, the lady was dressed in white with lace and makeup while the guy was in a tuxedo with a red bow. Quite obviously from the wedding.
On the other corner was these two rather young beautiful girls - dressed to party - must be returning to the hotel from the club next door.
Then there was this old white couple, seriously tanned but dressed in a relaxing beachwear - looks like retirees on a holiday.
And us, my brother and I, dressed in white with black slacks - coming back from honouring our grandma at her funeral.
Two distinct occasions... a wedding and a funeral. Distinct age groups... different stories... all in one lift...
My RSD trained movie sense lit up!
