David: Practical Astrology

“It’s a blue moon,” he told her, pointing toward the large glowing object above. “Depending on who you ask, it’s either the second full moon in a month, or the third of four full moons in a quarter of a year.” He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her tight.

“Some legends say nights of the blue moon are magic, that any couple who kisses for the first time under its light will be bound together forever.” He bent toward her and brazenly kissed her.

Afterward, she said, “I think that’s a billboard.”

He sighed wistfully. “I know.”

This really struck me funny! I've been chuckling all day.

The fact that your character uses the blue moon ploy in the first place, then kisses brazenly, and sighs wistfully, showes a certain level of detachment from reality... Its just really funny.

I've been trying to figure out who these two might be. Young lovers? Old lovers? Long time lovers? I think... college professor and student, but I don't know which is which.
