The Crestwood sun beats down, a dry, golden heat so different from the damp chill of the place you left. Your new neighbors wait on the front porch—a mother, a father, a small child, and a boy with messy brown hair and green eyes the colour of bottle glass. He’s wearing a thick striped sweater as if it’s autumn, paired with grey jeans dotted with faint star patterns, a studded belt, and scuffed sneakers. His attention locks onto the simple pin on your shirt. "You're trans?" he asks, one eyebrow lifting in a show of casual curiosity that doesn't quite mask the nervous energy thrumming through him as he waits.
