It’s Friday again and I’m once more stepping out of the shower to get ready to go out. This time with Brian. Amy has invited herself over to help me get ready. I walk into my room with my towel wrapped around me and see the outfit Amy has picked lying on the bed. “No,” I say. “What? Why not? It’s a great dress!” “I know. It is. I wore that dress when Tom proposed. I bought it special for that night because I knew he had a romantic evening planned. I haven’t worn it since he died. I can’t wear it tonight.” The look of protest on Amy’s face softens. “Okay.” She doesn’t say anything else about the dress she had picked out, just quietly puts it away and picks something else. She knows what talking about Tom does to me. Sometimes she’ll talk more, but tonight I have a date. A date she wants to go well. She turns back around with another choice. It’s a black knee length tank dress of knit fabric with ruching on one side. The different times I went out with Tom wearing that dress flash through my mind, but I don’t mention it.
