*The only girl you’ve ever loved was art in drag.* The dorm room air was dense with the smell of discount perfume and something like shame. You’d never wanted anyone—not a woman, not a man—until Tashi pressed makeup into your hands and Art’s. Now Art stood before you, remade. Kohl-rimmed eyes, a blush that looked like a fever. A sight of such impossible loveliness it cracked your old ideas of desire open. It was a bit, a temporary illusion, but it lit a wildfire of panic in your ribs. You ran, leaving your best friend and the memory of that breathtaking disguise behind, unable to meet the truth of your own heart.
