Isabel, if at any point over the next few years you develop the ability to magically detect the presence or absence of jewelry, I want you to inform me immediately.

On a related note, I wonder if I was always annoyed by mundane conversation or if that developed over my period of hiding.

I can't be sure considering most women seem to have an unnatural ability to detect the absence of a wedding band on my hand and try to start irrelevant conversations about it.

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

...oh.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Every. time.

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

....you could start wearing it again?

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

I would, but I'm afraid that'd start a whole new conversation with the ones who have already seen me without it.

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

So tell 'em the truth.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

...

You know I never considered that.

Women never try to chat up single fathers who also happen to be widowers, trust me.

[saw-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Oh, the entire truth.

I was just going to tell them that they were annoying me with their repetitive prattling.

But that works too.

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

...well.

Either or.
