St. Paul, 4:55 p.m.

Not that I’ve ever told anyone this, but the next person I slept with after Bryce had his daughter’s name tattooed across his abdomen. Old English script like a declaration.

‘Anna.’

I told Alan it was my grandmother’s middle name. He liked it because it was a palindrome.

On my own back is a small blue letter B, the first letter of my name scratched into me professionally with a needle and ink. A letter was the most obvious choice, a part of the alphabet I wanted to be labeled with. A letter I could lie about. This twenty-five dollar investment has since stood for baseball, Bannockburn, breath, Baileys, a canyon in Utah that ‘moved me beyond words,’ and the nickname of my non-existent dog Brady.

Something for everyone; that’s what politics has done to me.
