Close encounters

He wasn't flirting.
 In fact he barely had noticed her.
Danny held the door for her because of his home training.
He was actually in a rush to get home to his wife, despite the fact that his wife had been pushing him away with increasing frequency.
 Sara, his wife had become so critical of him that Danny was losing his self confidence.  Danny had stopped to pick up some Uncle Ray's BBQ chips, they were Sara's favorite.
 When he had started buying her the chips it had been sweet, he had simply wanted to see her beautiful smile. There wasn't much that Danny wouldn't do to make her happy. No honey-do list was too long or demanding, late night store runs, and wearing his hair a certain way, he did it all because he loved her and wanted nothing more than to bring her joy.  Now the chips had become a point of contention and if he brought some it might start a fight because Sara claimed he bought them because "You want me to be fat! You don't want anybody else to want me."
 If he didn't buy some it was
"You think I'm fat. You trying to tell me something?" Or. "You are so selfish! You stopped at the store and didn't get my chips? You don't love me anymore."
Danny shook his rapidly greying head. It was confusing. He was damned if he did and damned if he didn't.
Tonight the decision was made for him the Quick Stop was out of the Louisiana based snack.  Danny paid for his gas knowing full well that Sara would be bitching about his fuel usage too, as if he were personally responsible for his older cars increased consumption of gas.
The woman was stunning.
Danny didn't notice.
He simply stood aside and held the door, something that he'd learned growing up in Shreveport La. Manners and home training.
She noticed him.
Noticed the wedding band on his finger. Noticed his sad but handsome eyes. She noticed the slump of his shoulders and could have told Danny's story with better clarity and understanding than he could.
Her name was Unique.
 Unique Morris.
As she sashayed past Danny Unique decided that she wanted him and she was damn well going to get him. Before she could think of something to say to the handsome older gentleman. He jumped into his car and drove away.
