Beautiful

-Am I beautiful?
I looked around. I was alone.
-Yes, I'm asking you.
-We don't even know each other.
-Do you need to know me to say if I'm beautiful or not?
-It would help.
-Can't you give me an objective opinion?
-I wouldn't be able to. How I feel when I'm with someone changes much of what I perceive.
Even the state of the other person changes a lot. Did you ever notice that a person in love is more beautiful than when it's sad?
-I never thought about it.
-Now that we're having an interesting discussion, I would say that you're beautiful.
No answer.
She turned back to a statue.
