At the same time she comes out to her parents, though her father says nothing about it or his own truth. "Like Stephen and Bloom at the National Library, our paths crossed but did not meet," she writes. Her mother reveals the truth a few weeks later, to her daughter's utter surprise.

But the satisfaction one might draw from even a playful vision...
