Separating Observation from Interpretation: The Next Table at a Café

L3

Saturday afternoon at a café. The couple at the next table is fighting. The woman clearly felt deeply hurt by the man, and the man reeled off feeble excuses. You could see the woman steadily losing patience. In the end, unable to hold back her anger, she stormed out of her seat and left.

The passage above mixes 'observation' and 'interpretation.' Rewrite the same scene as 5 'pure observation' sentences that contain only what a camera and microphone could record. Judgment or guessing phrases like 'fighting,' 'hurt,' 'excuses,' or 'unable to hold back her anger' must not appear. You may freely fill in details not in the passage, at the level a camera would have captured.
