in the future, to be responsible and take better precautions. Also, if you are honest about your situation, the right man will not allow this problem to affect his feelings for you.” She paused. “It’s really sad to say, but a large number of people on this campus have been diagnosed with herpes. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who are not as cautious as they should be. Cajen, it’s as simple as taking a few seconds out to grab a condom.” Cajen appreciated her honesty and empathy. She did make this news a bit easier to swallow.
    “Thank you.”
    “But I will suggest you have your boyfriend come in to be tested, and you two may need to sit down and have a long talk.”
    Dr. Mitchell gave Cajen the two additional tests and wrote a prescription for oral medication and a cream to use externally. She also gave her pamphlets and told her that if she had any questions, or felt she needed to talk to someone, there was a herpes hot line number on one of the pamphlets, or she could call Dr. Mitchell herself.
    Cajen thanked the doctor and walked out of the office, wondering what she was going to do now.

    Chancey came out of the dressing room to model yet another dress for Don. She had already tried on at least fifteen dresses at five different shops. None were right, but she did manage to put two on hold just in case they couldn’t find anything better.
    “What do you think?” She twirled around and posed with her hands on her hip.
    “Un-uh!”
    “I agree. To be honest, I don’t like any of the styles in this shop. Let’s go to Marsche’s.”
    “Okay, that’s cool, but where do you want to eat after we finish?”
    “I don’t know. I’m really not hungry yet,” Chancey answered, and went back into the dressing room. She always felt uncomfortable in dressing rooms. Wondering if there were cameras or someone watching her undress, she never stood directly in front of the mirror while changing clothes.
    “Let’s go to Solomon’s,” Don suggested.
    “Where?” she yelled from out of the dressing room.
    “Solomon’s.” He repeated the name of the restaurant as if it were a name she heard every day.
    “I’ve never heard of that place. Is the food any good?”
    “It’s the best. Stick with me, Diamond, and I’ll show you nothing but the best,” he joked. They both laughed.
    She came out with the four dresses she had wasted her time trying on. “So, if I stay with you, I’ll always have the best?”
    “That’s what I said.” Don kissed her on the cheek.
    “You and the finer things life has to offer, or a solo life filled with mediocrity. How’s a girl to choose?” asked Chancey.
    “You’d better choose wisely.”
    “In that case, lock me up and throw away the key. I’m all yours!”
    Chancey put the dresses on the return rack. The sales associate asked if they wanted to see anything else, but they declined and left for Marsche’s, a fashionable ladies’ shop that sold dresses for every occasion. Surely they would be able to find something for a sorority rush.
    While walking, Don took her hand and gave her a big smile. Excited and in an exceptionally good mood, he gave her a look that said, I’m happy to be here with you. She smiled back at him, and they both looked in the windows of the shops they passed.
    At Marsche’s they saw several nice dresses. Chancey picked up two. She tried on the first one. It was a long, straight brown linen dress with gold buttons down the front. The collar was wide, and the long sleeves had large cuffs with gold buttons. The dress was a classic.
    “Baby, I think we just found your dress.”
    “You think so?”
    “Yes, look at you baby. Damn!”
    “You like it?”
    “What? I love it. Do you like it?”
    “Yeah, I think I do.”
    “Amen! Our search is over. Now, let’s go get your accessories,” Don exclaimed.
    They found a nice pair of earrings at the counter, and continued shopping the mall until they found a pair of shoes and
