Hand in Glove?

Apologies for the month (plus) of silence.
---------------
Saturday afternoon @ Pret a Manger, a semi-fast food sandwich chain. Two middle aged women are talking at each other while they eat sandwiches from triangular cardboard boxes. Suddenly, one of them stops chewing-and-talking and appears to zone out. She's staring at something on the floor. After a long pause, she speaks up.

"Louisa... has that rubber glove been on the floor this whole time?"

Her friend turns and squints at the floor.

"Oh, my, yes... look at that."

After a beat, they resume both their conversation and their lunch.
