43. I was looking for the "stormed off" part, too. And not finding it.

The whole thing looked so much more low key than that. WAY more. He even paused to touch her arm on his way out, heading offstage to the right. Like some “closing gesture” that signifies the end of an encounter. Not only that, but he actually got up and toward the exit fairly slowly, compared to what the chatter wrongly characterized as “stormed off.”

Wasn’t anything remotely like a “stormed off.”

And it had me wondering, objectively, ARE we seeing behavior from an individual who’s turning 80 in a few days and starting to act every bit that age? With all the accompanying suggestions and interpretations about an individual who’s actually not well? Or not fully “with it” anymore? Just what IS it that we’re seeing, lately?
