As the last bit of orgasm ebbed from my body I had decided I was going back to Harry’s. I didn’t know why, only that I needed to go if only to close a door I’d left open.
On the way home I stopped at a store that was twenty years too young for me and found an extremely cute, yellow summer mini dress with a tiny floral print and skinny little shoulder straps. I took it into the dressing room and slipped in on. It fell to about mid thigh. I turned this way and that considering myself in the huge mirror. It was short and loose but fitting where it counted. It was light and swirly and perfect.
I sat down on the bench next to my little pile of clothes and reached into my bag for a hair band. I pulled my hair back into a loose pony then turned my head, considering. I saw myself and stopped. And suddenly, for the first time since I was kid, a teenager maybe, I saw myself as I imagined others saw me.
