She stepped back from him. “I think I’ll wear it up like this.” She had pulled her hair to the top of her head. He had seen her wear it that way when she went to her job as buyer at a department store. It looked appropriate for work, but it was a shame to hide its fullness, to pull its curliness taut.

“But I need to look sophisticated and dignified on my wedding day,” she said, still holding it up.
He didn’t know if she was serious or teasing. He hadn’t asked about it again, but he had thought about it frequently, thought about how he wanted Anita to look like Anita on their wedding day, not some sophisticated, dignified version of herself.

He wasn’t sure if he was supposed to acknowledge the people he knew as he passed them, or if he was supposed to be so absorbed in his impending nuptials that he was excused from such pleasantries for once. He compromised by placing a semi-smile on his lips and focusing straight ahead. . .
