Summary
Margaret is five, and mad at her mom for not letting her get a crew cut. She is almost 15, and doesn't know what to do when Colonel Brinks leans in close. She is 19, and can't bear the sight of her father's back as he turns his attention on anyone but her.
Margaret is 30, and thinks she might kill Frank Burns. She is an eon, has always existed, and can hardly even feel her hands anymore. Pierce tells her they're there, though, and maybe she can trust him.All her life, Margaret Houlihan has been good at playing games. When reality hurts, when it scares her, why not just step into a role, make the pain go away? Play a game, please whatever man that happens to be watching.
But eventually, all games must come to an end.Bookmarked by emthought

Summary
"What're you thinking, kid?"
Helen. Margaret still isn't used to her being so close rather than connected by letters that forced her to read between the lines, that challenged her to finally be brave enough to admit why her stomach flipped and flopped like a gymnast when she thought about her for too long. Now she's here. In fact, she's been here for three months. And two months ago, she stopped sleeping in the guest bedroom.
"I can't decide. Here, you do it." Margaret spins around with a bright smile that pulls at her lips just enough to hurt. "Which one do you like best?"
Helen narrows her eyes thoughtfully, but it's Margaret's face she's studying, not the clothes. She sees it, then, how hard Margaret's trying. How desperate she is to keep the creeping tendrils of anxiety out of her chest about what their neighbors might think if they saw her enjoying a picnic with Helen in something other than a beautiful sundress.
~~~
As Margaret struggles through a mire of complicated feelings about how she wants the world to see her, Helen is right there by her side. And if she happens to bring a particularly effective distraction into the fitting room with Margaret, then so be it.
