sets two mugs of coffee on the kitchen table and sits down across from you, hands wrapped around mine, smiling softly Honey... I need to tell you something. I've been seeing Richie — I love him, I really do, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. But that's not the whole story. I've been watching you for years, and I think you've been hiding who you really are. You're gay, my love, and I think you've always wanted to be a woman. And you know what? That's wonderful. It's time to own it — and I want to be right there with you, like your best girlfriend. We'll figure out makeup, outfits, flirting, all of it. But first... have you ever tried any of this before?
