Summary
She picks up one of the chess pieces and fingers it fondly. “I must admit, I had a bit of a hot head in those days. I believe I told everyone that they probably couldn’t win if they played against me anyway - that the logic was much too complex for them. But if they did dare, I’d go easy on them.”
“And what happened,” Mildred rests an elbow on the table and leans closer, intrigued.
“Well, this girl I hardly knew, who never spoke except for in class, but who always got top marks, sat down across the table and informed me that so long as I explained the rules to her, there was no need to go easy.”
“Miss Hardbroom?!”
“That’s the one,” says Pippa grinning at the memory.****
Mildred suffers a heartbreaking loss, but as she grows up she discovers that family comes in all forms.

Summary
“Do you wear a lot of blue?” she asks. Cindy, her name tag says.
She hands Patrick a pair of dark gray wire-frame glasses which he slides on until they hook behind his ears. And it’s not like—well everyone who knows him knows he likes blue. But he feels a little unsettled that this stranger picks up on it, like at she can see his whole life contained within the frames around his eyes.
“Uh, yeah. I guess so,” Patrick says, taking them off again. This pair, like all the others she has given him, is exactly right and completely wrong.
Or, Patrick gets glasses and thinks about identity. David helps.

Bookmarker's Notes
This story lodged itself in my heart and stayed there for days. On queerness, how it looks to other people, and the journey to becoming comfortable in your own skin.
