Trademark

She always wears a bow in her hair. A big one, high against her crown — not absurdly so, not little-girlish or floppy, but visible from the front, adorning neatly drawn-back locks.

In her office or the courtroom, subdued and professional, coordinated with her suit much as her colleagues might choose a necktie.

On the weekends, more playful: a rainbow or a spray of polka-dots or simply a bright, happy pink.

Always a proud declaration of her femininity, no matter the circumstances, no matter how serious her mien.

A collection of such quirks is eccentricity. A single one, such as hers, is a trademark.

I allow her to keep her trademark bow whenever I take from her what I demand. With a nice pair of heels it makes a lovely outfit.
