Dear Reader

I feel like I know her. Though, I have never met her and I am eavesdropping on her conversation. She seems familiar. Should I say I know her type? The distortion of her face as she reacts to the information she is receiving from the other woman, the black handbag she is carrying on her left arm, the black shoes she is wearing. I believe she has a historical account of how she got the bag. Her type always has a story for everything. She will explain in detail the reason the shoes she is wearing have every feature they have. She has attempted to take her leave twice now and is even posed like she is about to leave, but the conversation with the other woman draws her like every story does. Her type enjoys gists. They are excited about talking about other people’s foolish actions and their own successful application of knowledge. They never talk of themselves in a bad way except they are trying to prove that they were cheated, that someone played on their innocent ignorance. She is acting like she wants to leave again. She is walking away amidst a cross fire of good bye greetings.

From her long, rather formless dress, I know she does not think much of fashion. I know she despises trendy clothes. I know “pencil” trousers look ridiculous to her. She must have criticized them a million times. She wore no jewelry.  Her brown dress was matched with a head tie of a darker shade of brown with sprinkles of gold. From this, I realize she gives a little damn about fashion after all.

I know her type. Something about the way she curved her lips and widened her eyes at the story she was being told, was familiar. They spoke in hushed tones, face to face. I could not hear it but I am convinced I have heard the story a hundred times before, just like I have met her a hundred times before.
