Charlotte already knows what her perfect girlfriend would look like; she has boxes filled with drawings of her fantasy girl hidden on the top shelf of her closet. She's aware of the irony, she just isn't ready to tell everyone she's gay. Then one morning a beautiful redhead sits down next to her in English class, and staying in the closet suddenly gets a whole lot harder. Lilly Roberts has the same blue eyes, the same tantalizingly long legs, and the same heartbreaking smile as the girl in Charlotte's drawings. She's Charlotte's dream-girl come to life.

"The Stillwater Tragedy" (1880) is a novel by Thomas Bailey Aldrich. Excerpt: "The chimney-stack of one house sends up no smoke. Yet the carefully trained ivy over the porch intimate that the place is not unoccupied.
