    Summary

    You sit at the kitchen table, Kathleen's hand warm in yours, her eyes sparkling while looking at you, and you think about that time your Dad told you that a lesbian could never find happiness in her life, without a husband, a family. You want to see him again just to laugh in his face. Because you found happiness between the walls of your nice apartment, between Kathleen's arms, and you think your life could never be more full. You're not the "good Chinese girl" Lily Hu your parents wanted, you're Just Lily Hu, and Who you are is up to you, now.

    Or: Lily Hu, in her twenties, thinks about her life with Kath Miller

    "You had everyone here swooning over you."

    Summary

    Kath slowed the plane to almost a complete stop and taxied it down to the parking spot, left open for her. It was ungainly, maneuvering the plane into place. They were much easier to control in the air. That was why it wasn't until she had taken off her headset and undone her seatbelt, until she opened the door and hopped down onto the ground, that she noticed the small figure making its way over to her, flanked by her boss.

    It was Lily. Lily was here.
