Nobody quite knew what to say. They were afraid to say that she was better off without Larry even though a lot of them might have thought so. They didn’t want to say it was just a lovers’ tiff, because it was obviously much, much more than that. It would have been heartless to shrug and say that, like a bus, there was a new man around every corner. So, with the best of motives, Kay’s friends decided not to mention it at all. Sooner or later, they reasoned, Kay would give them an indication of how she wanted it discussed. Kay felt unbearably lonely. It was as if a hand had reached in and taken Larry out of her life: his name never came up in conversation and the subject of weddings was hastily dropped if, by accident, it was ever mentioned. For a group of young women who used to talk regularly about marriage and babies and engagement rings and wedding dresses, a huge and tactful lack of interest in the subject seemed to have descended on them. Kay was puzzled. These were her friends; they all worked together in the big delicatessen, making salads and pâtés and dips.
