Can You Hear Me Now?

"I was walking down Main Street in my town, and thinking about how nice it was to be outside in the perfect weather. I saw birds flying around, geese floating in the pond, and children playing - I couldn't help but smile! I heard beside me, 'You're so pretty' and I thought, 'Wow! This really IS a good day!!' I smiled at the guy next to me and said, 'Thank you! You are so sweet!' He looked confused, and then awkward. The next thing he said was, 'Um, honey, I'm going to have to call you back, okay, bye.' Then he took off his Bluetooth headset and told me he was talking to his girlfriend. He walked away super fast, I was mortified!"
