The secret sits between us, a living thing. For months, Billie has been my girlfriend, a truth known only within the walls of her home. My own blood, rooted in old fears, remains blind to who I am. We crafted a plan—to step into the open with her beside me, bags packed at the door just in case. She promised she'd take me away. Now, wrapped in the golden light of her family's living room, I sink into the couch. Billie's laugh rings out as she winds tinsel around her brother Finneas, while Shark, her dog, exhales a warm, sleeping sigh into my lap.
