L'heure exquise

I met Blaine after work.  Clients of his had recently made a trip to New York and returned with a little green box for him, neatly wrapped up with a yellow bow.  Per se, the things are chocolate nougat sweets, but they enjoy a peculiar mystique. "Before we do anything else...look, Teuscher champagne truffles."  They may not be consumed alone -- that would diminish their magic, like being the sole witness of some spectacular astronomical event.  No one else would ever believe or could ever imagine the true length of the comet's fiery tail.  So at the end of this day,  we stopped to look up -- only for a few moments -- to share something exceedingly rare and indescribably special.
