Answer:
I am leaving a store when I notice the woman in front of me. There is something familiar in her walk and then I know who she is—a friend from long ago.
I should say hello but I’m in a hurry. She’s probably in a hurry, too, and there’s no need to bother. She hasn’t seen me yet and I can let it go. We’re out the door now and suddenly I change my mind. “Linda,” I say, and she turns around.
“Karen!”
We hug each other and stand in the sunshine to exchange greetings. But even though she’s smiling, I see something else in her face and she confides that her husband moved out a year ago. I am stunned.
She and Jerry had one of those enduring marriages I’ve always admired, always envied. And before I can even respond, she tells me her brother has just died and her daughter moved away. “You’ve been through a lot,” I say
