Yesterday, blogger Tatsie Masters went on a stroll near the Hill and spotted some familiar faces: Doug Emhoff and Chasten Buttigieg, the spouses of Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, respectively.

The internet seemed excited by the prospect of these two powerful spouses developing a friendship.
This is the feel good buddy movie that my soul needs. @Chasten @SecondGentleman going around DC spreading joy, solving crimes, rescuing kittens in trees etc https://t.co/OuKh6MRcMv

The pair wound up grabbing refreshments at Wine and Butter, the market/cafe on Lincoln Park.
