“Because let me tell you something-girls need their fathers. Look at me and Dad. He might not have been the most expressive guy in the world, but I always knew at some really deep level that he was there for me. And look at what he did for me when I came out. We stopped going to church, for God’s sake! He chose me -over God, over our community, over everyone.”

“When I trailed off, I could feel her eyes inspecting me. “Have I ever complained that you call too much? Or that your confidences are a burden?”
I shook my head, feeling as if some epiphany were trying to surface in my chaotic brain, like an air bubble rising through water. “No,” I said, “you haven’t.”
“You’re describing a scenario in which you haven’t offered me anything in return. But you have.” The reddish tints in her dark hair glinted in the firelight as she pushed it away from her face. Leaning toward me, she said, “I like hearing from you, whether you’re in a good mood or not. I like knowing that I can talk to you about anything, that you’ll understand because we once shared a history. I like feeling that you know the real me, faults and all.”

“Guess I’m like an old shoe, huh?”
She laughed. “A favorite shoe… maybe. One that always fit just right and you were never able to replace.”

“Emily caught me staring and tilted her head. “What are you thinking about?”
I hesitated. “I was thinking how glad I am that London and Bodhi are friends.”
She squinted at me, a skeptical gleam in her eye. “I’m not sure you were thinking about the kids just then.”
“No?”
“No,” she said with a knowing smile, “I’m pretty sure you were thinking about me.”
“It must be a wonderful thing to be able to read minds.”

“I can wear my butterfly wings. The ones I got at the zoo...”
“To the aquarium?”
“For the fish,” she said.
I wasn’t sure I understood the correlation, but if it made her happy, that was fine with me.”

“It occurred to me that Emily, more than any woman to that point in my life, made me feel comfortable because she always seemed so comfortable with me.”
