I always thought Melody would be there waiting for me once I was ready to face my feelings for her, but I guess I waited too long.
Growing up, I just believed Melody was mine. I’d known her since we were babies. We took naps in the same crib together. My mother bathed us together. Her mother bathed us together. There was a time when I felt Melody was my other half and Charlotte was the superfluous one.
I can’t remember an important event in my life that didn’t have Melody in it. I can’t remember any mundane day in my life that didn’t have Melody in it. She was my constant companion, confidant, life coach, cheerleader, quasi-girlfriend, sister, and fellow geek. I never imagined a day would come when we wouldn’t be friends anymore.
It wasn’t that long ago when I overheard Lottie
