A Fresh Coat

A Fresh Coat

By Cuirbouilli

Susan tingled with excitement as she stood outside of the leather shop.  She wanted a leather coat for over ten years and today she was finally going to buy herself one!  

In itself there was nothing special about that day compared to any other day.  It was a cold, dreary Saturday afternoon in January 2005.  She had walked past the leather store in the mall a thousand times.  She occasionally peeked inside and dreamed of walking out in a long, sleek leather coat.  

What stopped her for so many years?  At that moment, she wasn’t quite sure.  The past excuses were too numerous to count.  It didn’t matter now because today she was going to wrap herself in a new leather coat no matter what.

She took a deep breath and stepped into the store.  Her excitement grew as she walked past racks filled with leather jackets.  The acrid smell of leather perfumed the air.  There was something so warm and sensual about the odor of leather coats.  She really loved the aroma of them.

All of the jackets so far were short.  She didn’t want a thigh-length jacket like everyone else was wearing.  She wanted a full-length leather coat.  It would be much warmer for one thing.  Plus she really wanted to indulge herself in something luxurious and sophisticated.  She had certainly waited long enough to do so.  She deserved a fabulous long leather coat.
