At a shaded estate sale in Henshaw, Missouri, I found a wedding gown sealed in a garment bag—tagged for ten dollars, but carrying a weight far heavier than satin. The elderly neighbor told me about Emily, the bride who died on her wedding day in 1987. I bought the dress, thinking I could salvage it for someone else. But when I hung it in my closet, the fabric began to weep droplets of water, and the smell of roses and wet earth filled the room. At night, a woman's voice called my name from the closet—not angry, just lost. The gown remembers the rain, the shattered windshield, the drive that never reached the church. And now it remembers me.
