ivy

how's one to know?
i'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones
in a faith forgotten land

in from the snow
your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
tarnished but so grand

Tanya loves Octavia, but Octavia isn't sure if she "likes" girls. At Sydney's birthday party, Octavia said yes to Kevin's invitation to dance, being polite, which made Tanya jealous. But they're going on horse back riding the next day, and Tanya is looking forward to a potential kiss. The girls have a conversation in which they go back and forth, afraid to actually take the first step and make the first move. In the form of narration, we get to learn the inner monologue of the two young protagonists as they embark on their journey of sexual orientation and gender identity.
