About halfway through the date, Leia found that femininity was no longer a matter of applying the lessons learned from her mother and Jackie, but was something that felt natural. She took pleasure in making small, delicate movements rather than big, space-claiming ones. She liked having doors held open and chairs pulled back for her, not because it made her feel helpless but because it made her feel special. During the obligatory mid-date joint bathroom visit, she confessed to Jackie that this was the best time she had had since she learned she had Second Puberty.
"Yeah" Jackie answered "Sometimes being a girl is pretty damn awesome. He likes you, I can tell."
"Yeah, I like him too."
"You gonna fuck him?"
"Not tonight."
"Smart girl!" Jackie laughed.
