Secondhand Love I'm Done

My best friend came from a poor family and had a fondness for secondhand things.

My boyfriend admired how thrifty she was, so he opened a secondhand company for her.

After that, every gift I received was used.

One word from her, that something was "too extravagant," and he traded my couture wedding gown for a dress she'd cobbled together out of old bedsheets.

One word from her, that "every grain comes from toil," and he canceled the wedding banquet we'd booked and replaced it with a hundred tables of leftovers.
