The heels came last,and then he tossed the remainder of his male clothes into a storagecloset. He paced in his heels as he awaited the girls arrival.... With every step,he had more confidence in his ability to walk in them. He had worn heelsextensively as an adolescent. His parents were out of the home forseveral hours after he came home from school and he had snuck a pairfrom his mother's room each day for years until his feet grew to big tofit her shoes.
