    and admitted that he was a she and quite a bit older than me. Erin took it in stride, and I learned that her sister was a lesbian. She didn’t stop trying to get a name, but one afternoon she returned from shopping with a stack of books for me and a bunch of brochures with a rainbow on the front. “You’re a wonderful friend,” I told her, squeezing her hand. “You can hug me if you want,” she answered, then winked. “As long as all you squeeze of me is my hand.” I spent Christmas days in the Olde Bookhouse, reading the books Erin had bought for me and feeling equally exhilarated about learning so much about what was awaiting me and terrified by it. I made mental lists of people I knew I could tell, those I thought I could tell, and finally, those I didn’t think would cope well. The last one was by far the longest. Alice worked each day over the holidays, and I blushed madly the first time she approached me to get my order. “Cheesecake with whipped cream and a cappuccino?” she inquired with a wink, and I contemplated just sliding under the table. “Uhm, yes, please,” I said instead and earned another wink.

I was just returning from a walk around the pond when I saw Professor Morrigan stride across the courtyard, and before I could think about what exactly I was going to say to her, I heard myself shouting her name. She stopped instantly, a surprised look on her face. “Professor Morrigan,” I gasped, having sprinted the last hundred feet, “oh god, you’re my savior.
