The only halo that day

I'd gone to the pub on the river to see some friends for a lunchtime coffee. Standing with my back to the bar, looking at the tv, I saw Julia walk past with the dog - she didn't see me; Sherlock made her lurch back when he stopped to mark a section of wall. She was headed to the cafe just down the road with a friend. As I went outside to see where she was going, I spotted the clouds casting an eye down on me. I was nervous and afraid that day, I don't know why. I wasn't honest when I walked past them to "accidentally" say hello. I regret all that now.
