across the room and placed his hands on my hips, looking me in the eyes with a warm smile.
    “Lindsey, it’s your ten-year high school reunion. You have to go. It would be weird if you didn’t,” he said.
    I sighed, my heart sinking a little bit. I knew he was right, but I just didn’t like the idea of going to my high school reunion when I knew Alex wasn’t going to be there with me. He was my everything in high school and the thought of being there without him just didn’t feel right.
    “Now, come on,” William said. “Get a dress on and let’s go. It’ll be fun.”
    William’s positivity and encouragement was hard to argue, so I hesitantly nodded my head in agreement and then stepped to the closet to find a dress to wear.
    “I guess you’re right,” I said. “Give me a couple of minutes to get ready and I’ll meet you in the car.”
    William smiled, his face lighting up. Then he turned and headed out of the bedroom, making his way downstairs and out the front door. I was left in the quiet of the room, standing in my black bra and panties in front of the large mirror that was hung above the dresser.
    “Oh, Alex,” I whispered, as tears began to fill my eyes. “Where are you?”
    I took a long, deep breath and did my best to swallow back my emotions. Then I stepped to the closet and began digging through it, looking for something to wear for the evening.
    The first dress that caught my eye was a short navy blue one, hung at the very end. I grabbed it immediately and held it in the air. It was the same one that I had worn when Alex and I had first had sex in my dorm room, all of those years ago. I had kept it as a sort of memoire; a reminder of he and I’s first time, when both of our innocence was lost.
    I sighed and then hung it back up in the closet, tucking it in the very back this time so that I didn’t have to see it again. Then I grabbed a simple, but tight and sexy, black dress that William had bought for me the previous year for our wedding anniversary.
    “This will look great,” I said, as I pulled it down off of the hangar.
    I then stepped back over to the mirror and slipped it on. It fit snugly over my hips and my large breasts filled the cups completely, making my cleavage look amazing.
    The dress fell a few inches below my butt, which was a little shorter than what I was used to wearing, but I didn’t mind the idea of impressing some of my old classmates with my still-athletic body. I figured that I spent an hour in the gym every day and there was nothing wrong with showing off all of my hard work.
    Pleased with the way the dress fit, I sprayed on some perfume and then went to work on my hair, pulling a brush through it. After that, I used a curling iron to curl the ends. It gave me a casual yet elegant look; one that I thought would suit my high school reunion perfectly.
    I still didn’t really want to go, though, despite William’s encouragement. But I knew that he would just pressure me until I got it over with, so I took another deep breath as I put on my pearl necklace and bracelet.
    Okay, let’s just do this and get back home. It’s just a ten-year reunion and then I won’t have to worry about it again...or at least for another ten years.
    After giving myself a little pep talk, I turned and stepped out of my room, making my way outside to meet William in the car.
    ***
    W e drove for almost an hour and I was silent for most of the ride. Anxiety filled my body as I imagined seeing all of the people that I had graduated high school with. I wondered who would remember me and if I’d be able to recognize any faces. But most of all, I wondered what it would have been like if I was riding to the reunion with Alex instead of William. It’s what everyone had always imagined would happen with Alex and I. We were high school sweethearts, inseparable. People were definitely going to be asking me what happened to him and unfortunately, I wouldn’t have an answer.
    Finally, we pulled up
