“Are you queer? Bisexual? Pansexual? Fluid? Omnisexual? Heteroflexible? Homoflexible?”

“Uh. Are you reading a list?”

“I think I’m going to go with bisexual. That means ‘attracted to both guys and girls,’ right? I mean, that’s the truth. That’s what’s happened.”

“Okay. I’ll type your name into this registry right here…”

“What?” Riva swiveled her head as if she could see Casey from where she sat.

Casey giggled. “I’m kidding, I’m kidding! You just sounded so serious, like you had to pick this term that would be with you all your life.”
