I woke up in the middle of the night. I felt her breath on the back of my neck.

“The floor is too hard,” she mumbled. But then I felt her hand on my shoulder blade. I rolled over. She kissed me on the lips.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I’m sure.”

“But you said—”

“I love you, Orphea.”

Morning came. I opened my eyes. Snow was falling outside the window. She touched my foot with her toe.

“Sleep okay?” I tried to sound casual.

“Not really.” Already the sun was bright.

“We slept a long time.”

“Not me. I was awake, thinking.”

“About us?”

“Of course.”

“Are you sorry?”

“No. I can’t help who I love.”

“I’m scared, Lissa.”

“Me too. That’s why I yelled at you yesterday in the kitchen. But it’s my life, Orphea. Nobody else’s.”

I reached over her chest and clicked on the radio. I turned up the volume. She stroked my hair. I looked into her eyes. Her eyes were laughing. We kissed and kissed again. My secret was out and it wasn’t a giant. It was a beautiful rainbow.
