Costco date night did not start as a plan. It started at 8:27pm when it was too late to go home and cook dinner.

Bob Addison and his wife got their smoked meat sandwich order in three minutes before the food court closed. Two sandwiches, one refillable drink shared between them, employee lockers along the back wall doubling as lumbar support. Bob Addison, a man who prefers direct eye contact across the table, approved the same-side seating arrangement. He describes it as a moment. His wife declined to pose for the pickle photo.

A few days earlier, the two of them drove to White Rock Pier together for the first time all school year, got there before 10am to beat the parking fee, and watched a heron rinse something in a tidal pool before swallowing it whole. Bob Addison spent some time wondering whether herons are prone to acid reflux and whether a long neck makes it worse.
