This sentence feels like a poem, or song, or chant, that immediately piques my curiosity and draws me in. Propulsive indeed. Thank you for another must read!
They sat opposite each other, a wide, shining, bare table between them. Husband and wife, one small and timid and the other tall and angular; both unequally matched; both wore black, although to different effect; both tired, with dark half-moons under their eyes, both, it seemed to me, had been through the grinder and just wanted it all to end so that they could be free of each other.
