"I'm . . . I'm . . . " I'm gay, Kurt wanted to say. The words were right on the tip of his furry, blue lips, and yet he could not push them out.
His friend smiled at him. She reached out and caressed the blue fur on his hand. "It's okay, Kurt," she said. "It's okay; I understand." He could see the truth in her eyes, and Kurt smiled at Nurse Palmer, though she'd never be a true flame for him. He smiled for she understood the truth without his having to speak it, and that was the best gift she could have given him.
