fifty-six days

day one

on the first day, I went to buy a dress. and that's when I saw him for the first time.

the small store held a wide variety of dresses, in all colours, shapes and sizes. but I focused solely on the black dresses.

i picked a dress and held it to my body in the mirror, when i first heard him speak,

"beautiful"

he said.

"you must be blind"

i replied.

"actually, love, I can see perfectly fine"

he retorted.

i put the dress back and walked out of the small boutique. i don't need the dress right now anyway.
