Their story
Bluebell shares Lefty’s shade, his size, and a pale line near the toe. For a moment, Lefty is almost certain his waiting is over.
But Bluebell has known loss too, and she will not be rewritten into someone else’s story. Gently and without cruelty, she declines to become his answer.

What they carry
Projection, boundaries, and the difference between resemblance and identity.
