Someone Else's Jacket

Many romances began with the young man offering his jacket to the high school girl who pretended to be cold. Wearing his oversized coat had a way of making a girl feel of value, accepted, lovable, taken care of. To belong to something bigger than herself. It had a comforting feel… to be swallowed up in a 'too large' coat. Perhaps it was like putting on something of her father's.
