softness
raze
every
man
she
met
seemed
to
think
he
knew
more
about
her
body
than
she
did
.
none
of
them
touched
the
places
she
could
take
herself
when
she
was
alone
.
it
wasn't
until
she
started
dating
women
that
she
understood
what
she'd
been
looking
for
and
why
it
took
so
long
to
find
.
what
she
was
missing
was
a
certain
softness. "
it's
not
that
i
don't
love
you
,"
she
said
. "
you
just
can't
give
me
what
i
need
."
he
fashioned
a
veil
from
the
memory
of
her
smile
and
wore
it
like
a
scar
he
hoped
would
never
heal
.
