Unbeknownst to either David or Jennifer, as they pulled into The Villa's courtyard after their run they had a pair of eyes noticing them; that is beyond mine. Just by happenstance, well maybe, Frank was looking out his kitchen window at the courtyard. Not necessarily innocently, he noticed Jennifer and David running in together and then walking a few laps around the gazebos. He found this amusing and even let out a belly laugh when they started stretching. The real icing on the cake though was the high five; this made him jump out of his chair with a big grin and walk to the window. Getting a better look he noticed how they peered back at each other as they entered their apartment doors. Romance is afoot, thought Frank.
Maybe David's taken my advice about that Amy Helmer character, thought Frank. That would make him smart and maybe that would be giving him too much credit. No, I'm sure he listened to me. Well then again maybe David's one of those fellows that plays the field a lot; gets around, lays pipe; to be crude. Frank laughed out loud as he walked towards his coffee pot for another cup.
Frank thought back to his introduction to Jennifer Holmes. She's a nice girl. Well, at least she's nice for kids these days; I mean they're all so damn rude! But Jennifer really wasn't, she seemed to have more poise than most; a kind of graceful intelligence so to speak. I like her. She's a better catch for David than little Ms. Helmer. I approve.
Just as a side note here let me tell you that I like Frank. Even if I didn't Elizabeth would make sure I treated him well as she thinks he's a lonely old guy that deserves pity. Notice I didn't say she said he deserves respect. But anyway ... I find it just hilarious that Frank actually believes his "approval" is necessary before the residents of The Villa can spark up a romance. I'm not kidding here, I've seen him (and heard him) tell people he doesn't even know how to live their lives. He says it in such a funny way though you can't help but like the guy. He's quite the busy body, but you just can't help but like him. He's got the traits of a fun loving old guy along with many annoying intelligence/ego/Ph.D. things. Know what I mean? Well at times he's kind of like the affable class clown mixed with the hard-ass homeroom teacher in the second grade. He can leave you not knowing which way to turn. Perhaps that's part of his charm, he may be annoying but at least he's only rarely boring. As I'd mentioned before he's complicated. Seriously, just look the word up in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of Frank with a shit eating grin on his face!
