lavender dress

My wife went to the market one afternoon this past weekend. The weather was warm and she was wearing a long lavender dress, very lovely. The dress has bare arms and drapes in a style reminiscent of a statue of a Greek goddess.

While she was out, a flash of color caught my eye in the back hallway. I saw the lavender dress, someone on the landing above the stairs leading down to the back door.

I assumed it was my wife but when I went to help carry in the bags, the hallway was empty.

This happened twice before my wife came home.

Then again tonight, I saw someone in the dress move down the back stairs.

My wife was upstairs putting our daughter to bed.

This time, though, the dress was pale blue.
