Could they all have left? I could feel the heat of it. I decided to do it in the largest Mall in town, one surrounded by parking lots that allow you to park quite close and walk inside through any handy store. I told her that I am going to the mall next day and try to complete the task. I was mortified and felt one foot tall. “If you’re going to do it, Julee, you might as well do it all the way.”
I unlatched the door, took a deep breath, and pulled it open — and stopped dead in shock. And a ton of cheap jewelry clanking and clinking. The former typically wore Bermuda shorts, slacks, or casual skirts. She smiled gently and put her hand on my arm. Such sweet torture. I told her that I am going to the mall next day and try to complete the task. By the way, may I have these as a memento?
