The area I live in is basically apartments and then apartments and more apartments. There are probably more people living in the 5 square block area than in my hometown. (population 2,645) We are all young and single and not from around here.
Lately on Sundays I have taken to getting up early, sipping my coffee and going outside to watch my new favorite spectator sport I like to call "The Synchronized Walk of Shame"

they come out of buildings simultaneously
couples
staggered
guy with girl, guy with guy,
one of the pair ruffled, hair pulled up and back, make up a little farther down the face.
One of them a little too dressed for the night the other comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt.
awkward goodbyes
"I had fun last night"
"me too"
"sorry but I used some of your toothpaste"
"I'll call you"
and turn and reach and open car door and wave
