Later That Week
I stumbled through the door of my apartment, carrying bags of groceries. It was the first time that I had gone grocery shopping without Craig and I had vowed never to do it again. I missed having him to talk to while shopping, and I hated loading and unloading all my bags without him. I guess I had got a little spoiled to having him with me.

I put my bags down on the counter and looked around. Craig was right; I do buy too much when I go shopping. I laughed.

There was a knock at the door. I left my groceries and went to answer it.

"Hey Kylah, this package came for you. I signed for it since you weren't home." Craig said, holding a large box.

"It's my mom's prom gown!" I said, and grabbed the box. "Come on in."

"The dress for that oldies dance you and some of the boys are going to?" Craig asked following me into my apartment.

"Yes, I can't wait to try it on. Mom was about my size before she had kids." I said, looking for a knife to open the box.

"You seem excited to go? Did one of the boys ask you to be his date?" Craig asked, sitting on my couch.

"No, we're all just kinda going in a group. I really thought that Verchota would ask me, but he wants to go alone so he can pick up on girls." I said.

"I'm sure you'll have a good time." Craig said.

"Oh I hope so……I know it sounds silly, but I think the Doowop era would've been so romantic to live in." I said. "I mean the great music, the sock hops, the cars, the drive-ins, the post-war era. I know I sound ridiculous but I think dating back then would've been so nice."

I opened the box and pulled out the dress that was neatly folded. It was still in good condition as my mom had kept it in her closet in a plastic bag all these years. I held it up against me.

"It's so beautiful." I said. "Craig sit right there while I go change. You can tell me what you think."

I ran into my bedroom to try on the dress. I was so excited. It was long and light blue. It came just off my shoulders and fit wonderfully. I twirled in front of my mirror, admiring the dress from all sides.

I ran back into the living room. "What do you think?"

"You look beautiful….really stunning." Craig said.

"You think so? You're not just being nice?" I asked.

"I mean it. Where were you when I went to prom?" Craig smiled.

"You would've taken me to your prom?" I giggled.

"Sure I would have. Of course, we'd have spent most of the dance in the parking lot in the backseat of my car with that dress crumpled on the floorboard!" Craig winked.

"CRAIG! I can't believe you said that!" I laughed, shocked.

"Don't kill a guy for telling the truth." Craig smiled.

"I just never thought you'd say something like that." I said.

"You think I'm made of stone? That I live next-door to you and hang out with you and don't notice…things?" he asked.

"Well no….but…..oh never mind." I sighed. "I just love this dress. I can't wait to wear it to the dance."

"You'll have a great time, I'm sure." Craig said.

"Dance with me." I said and run to turn my radio on.

"What? Why?" Craig asked.

"Because I want to dance, you're here and I look pretty." I said, looking for an oldies station. Sort of staying in theme with the dance.

"Don't you think we'll look a bit silly?" Craig asked.

"And who is going to see us? We're all alone here in my apartment and most of the boys are out and about for the evening!" I said, settling on a station that was playing Elvis' 'Love Me Tender'.

"I had a feeling you liked Elvis." Craig said, standing as I walked back over to the couch.

"What made you think that?" I asked, taking his hand and putting my other arm around his neck.

"He's from the south, dabbled in country music, sings love songs….you were bound to like him." Craig smiled.

"I loved Elvis. I was pretty heart broke when he died. And then we lost Lynyrd Skynyrd about the same time……my music life is falling apart." I joked.

Craig laughed. "It'll be okay."

"As long as nothing happens to Loretta Lynn, I'll be okay!" I smiled. "You know, I should do my own version of her song."

"Really?"

"Sure, I'll just call it 'Moonshiner's Daughter'!" I giggled. "Course I'd have to be careful not to reveal any family secrets!"

"You've got a great sense of humor." Craig said. "When you giggle, it makes your face light up."

"Thank you." I said. Craig's face would light up when he was flirtatious, which still caught me off-guard at times.

"And you're really cute when you blush. Your cheeks turn pink and you divert your eyes." Craig smiled.

"You're so sweet. Actually, you've been very nice to me since we met in Colorado. It's made the transition a lot easier." I said.

"You've been great to be with too." Craig said.

"Craig, who did you take to your high school prom?" I asked.

"Her name was Karen Thompson. She sat behind me in Trigonometry." Craig said.

"And did you spend half the dance with her in the parking lot?" I chuckled.

"I couldn't she had a twin brother that was also at the prom. He'd have killed me." Craig laughed. "Who did you go to prom with?"

"Yahto Swimms. He was in my homeroom with me. A real sweet guy." I said.

"Yahto? That sounds Indian. Was he from the reservation?" Craig asked.

"He was Indian, but his family lived off the reservation and ran their own business nearby." I said.

"And was he a complete gentleman?" Craig snickered.

"Yes he was. We went as friends and I kissed his cheek goodnight when he took me home. That's it!" I said.

"He's got more willpower than I would have." Craig winked.

"Why do I get the feeling that had you and I met in high school and attended the prom together, we would've stopped at the drugstore on the way to the prom?" I asked.

"Now, I'm more of a gentleman than that." Craig smirked. "I'd have stopped at the drugstore before I picked you up."

"I bet you were a pistol in high school." I laughed.

"Sometimes high school feels like it was 100 years ago." Craig said.

"Oh you're not old." I said.

"Glad that someone like you can appreciate that." Craig smiled.

Elvis ended and the radio began playing Frankie Avalon singing 'Venus'. To my surprise, Craig didn't let go of me. I didn't mind. I enjoyed dancing.

"So that's your mom's prom gown?" Craig asked.

"Yeah, she went to prom in May of 1951. Then she and dad got married right after graduation in June." I said.

"Sounds like a wonderful love story." Craig said.

"I hope to be half as happy when I get married as they have been. They've had some rough times, but got through them together." I said.

"You went grocery shopping without me?" Craig said, noticing my bags on the counter.

"And I didn't enjoy it as much as when you go with me. No one to help with the bags like you always do." I laughed.

"I need a few new things. My towels have seen better days and I wouldn't mind having few pairs of new jeans. Want to go to the mall with me Sunday?" Craig asked.

"It's another of our shopping dates!" I giggled.
