She was standing alone looking at him.
The garden was full of people coming in and out. The artists on stage were amusing and entertaining the audience, while at the same time the audience was laughing and applauding them.
He was standing on the other side of the garden opposite the main entrance.
He seemed nervous. He was looking at the door and here and then looked at his watch.
He looked so fresh and light, dressed in a very summery and classy way. He never looked at anyone else apart from the door.

He was talking and laughing.
