t. we were hanging out together at a really nice, crowded restaurant, and k. p. was also there. we were weaving our way to the restrooms when i turned to k. and murmured, "you know, she's been dead for a year." her eyes grew wide as she exclaimed, "what?" i nodded. t. and i made it to the bathroom, and i lingered near the sinks while she went. i traced my finger along the fixtures, considering wthether to raise the issue. back in the dining room, t. said she wanted a baby. i kept silent.
