NEW YORK - APRIL 1903
Your Mildred -and you can say that now, your Mildred, it has a nice ring to it- charms you with every word.
If she knew… no you can’t think about that. Just enjoy the current warmth she brings you.
Her family may be an earful, but they’re very much loaded -you’ve been treated to tea by her several times already.
She hasn’t formally introduced you to her household yet, but the time alone with her is best anyway.
You can get caught up in her features, hanging onto her every word but not really listening.
You cherish this time together. Before you go home and take off the stiff trousers and jacket.
Strip away the shirt to reveal the female you are underneath. Why can’t you be who you are and love her?
It’s not fair. But life isn’t fair and you have the best of it right now.
You have a girl and no one has found out about you yet.
No one has taken the manly Walter Price you’ve become and figured out that Mary Allen is under the mask.
No one knows what a lie you’re living right now.

A/N - dang Mary is over thinking things.
