This was a nice short read. Unfortunately, as a relatively young reader, I found myself unable to connect with the couple in the story. They've been married for thirty years (or slightly longer). Their kids are grown and gone. Sam's mother comes across as a major source of embarrasment. They're at a boring point in their lives...neither one is really happy with where they are in their marriage.
Margie contemplates leaving because she feels that Sam doesn't appreciate the hard work she put into her weight loss efforts. She wore a new dress and dolled herself up for a night out with her husband and he barely acknowledges her.
Sam begins to wake up when he notices the fabulous dress. But he notices her even more when other men are flirting with his wife.
As the night drags on, they eventually realize that they both want to stay together and they both need to rekindle their marriage.
Again, it's a nice story. I sense the frustration, the sorrow, and the hurt feelings. But it's just terribly difficult for someone like me to really relate to this kind of thing at this point in my life.
