Serving Spoon
Adults look silly eating watermelon. But aren't funeral receptions inherently awkward? Fretful. Surely Aunt Rachel should have cut them into sticks (more dignified) rather than triangles. Instead of a feel-good summer snack, there's an air of humiliation in dripping rinds and wet chins. She should have known better.

The Lies We Tell
Many people ask why I didn't notice the signs at first. Because, to me, there were no signs. Instead, they were validation, reasons to continue on. What do I know? I am sitting here, waiting to see him. Again. I was dressed in a fashionable yet appropriate pants suit. I had to borrow it from my friend. I would never have anything this nice.
