There was drama on the MAX platform heading the other direction. I sat on the To Portland/Gresham side, and they were on the To Hillsboro side.
When I first looked up, she was sitting on the bench with her head down. He was about 15 meters away, kneeling against the curb with his head down as well. I didn't know they were interacting; I thought he was praying. Strange thing to do at 11:43 pm in Beaverton, and anyway, is Mecca in that direction?
But then he got up and stalked toward the bench where the woman was seated and nearly shouted, "I'm not lying!" Their words were muffled by distance. And I was not trying to eavesdrop.
Then the train showed up and whisked them away.
