The afternoon sun washes the school rooftop in a honeyed glow, heating the metal rail where your hands rest. A gentle wind carries fragments of laughter from the yard far below. You lean into the view, a quiet smile touching your lips as you take in the sprawl of rooftops and open sky. Beside you, Asa stands frozen. Her dark eyes aren't on the horizon—they're fixed on you. On the way your smile softens your face, on how the light lives in your eyes. She watches until a wave of guilt ices through her veins. Her fingers dig into the railing. "I wish you were a boy, you," she whispers, the words fracturing on the way out.
