"Hey, mom?"Asks the young boy.

"Yes, hun?"The mother asks.

"Where's this dress from? It doesn't really look like the one from you and dad's wedding pictures..."He says curiously.

The walks over to her son and she too is curious on where she got that dress from.

"I... I really don't remember... Where did you find this?"Asks the mother.

"The closet in your and dad's room."

"Really? Well... I must say, this dress looks gorgeous. How can I not remember this dress?"The mother says confused.

"I don't know."Shrugs the son.

"Honey! I'm home!"Calls a man as he opens the front door and walks in.

"Dad!"Says the boy.

"Welcome home, George. I made everyone's favorite, roast beef."

"Thanks, Claire."The father, George, says as he puts an arm around her waist, pulls her in and kisses her forehead.

"Dad! Look what I found in mom's closet."Says the boy.

George turns around and sees his son holding a hanger with a wedding dress covered with a clear plastic bag so it didn't get dirtied.

"Dan, you found that in in your mother's closet?"

Dan nods.

"I'm a bit confused. I understand the whole finding a mysterious wedding dress in your mother's closet. But why, are you looking through her closet in the first place?"George asks concerned.

"Uhhhhh....."Dan says a trying to think of an excuse.

After 10 minuets,"No what? Never mind."

Why does that dress seem so familiar to me? The mother, Claire, thinks.

"Lets just sit down and eat.."Claire suggests.

"Alright."Says George. They all sit down at the table and eat. After dinner, Dan is out in the living room playing video games while Claire and George are cleaning things up after dinner.

"Where did you get that dress anyway?"George whispers to Claire questionably.

"I don't really know..."Claire responds.

George looks at her.

"What?"She asks.

"You can tell me."

"Tell you what?"Claire asks in confusion.

"That-ah....."George scratches the back of his neck.

"That?"

"You're seeing other people..."

"WHAT!?"Claire shouts slamming down the dishes onto the counter.

"Mom?"Dan asks peaking into the kitchen worriedly.

"S-Sorry, Dan. Didn't mean to scare you."Claire says apologetically.

"It's okay, mom."Dan says and goes back into the living room back to his video games.

"Claire, honey, there's nothing need to be upset about. It's okay if you're seeing 'other' people, but all you could do is tell me..."

"I'm not seeing anybody, George. Where in God's green living earth would you get that idea from?"

"Well, there apparently seems to be a wedding dress in your closet I have never seen you wear."

"And what does that supposed to mean?"
