The opening credits are rolling, and I’m ready to completely zone out into the dance movie, but Jeremy’s not back from the concession stand yet. I love to watch people step. It’s been over ten minutes, and the lines move pretty quickly here. I wonder what the holdup is.

“Hey, babe,” Jeremy says, passing the boxes of candy and popcorn to me. He takes the two bottles of water out of his jean pockets and places them in the cup holders adjacent to the chairs.

“I thought you got lost,” I say, moving my sweater out of his seat so he can sit down. I know he needs to stretch his long legs, so I always make it a point to pick a row with an empty aisle seat.

“No, I just had to take care of something real quick,” he says, placing a Macy’s bag in my lap. Oh, no, he didn’t.

“Jeremy, what did you do?” I ask, opening the pretty gift to reveal my soft brown bag.

“You shouldn’t have to wait for this,” he says, pulling it out and setting the empty shopping bag on the floor as the movie begins.

“Thank you,” I say, gently kissing him on the lips. Although I’m happy about my gift, there’s still something wrong with this picture. He can be caring enough to buy me an expensive purse but not to tell me the whole truth about his family? Is he trying to buy my silence or just appease me so I’ll forget about the other stuff? Either way, it doesn’t make me feel good to have my emotions equated with a material object. And besides, I wanted to buy the purse myself. There’s no substitute for my self-worth.
