Butch was not.

She came from a place where the ground chewed glass and the sky didn’t apologize. A coal town with no name worth remembering—just a string of hollow houses and men who coughed up black and spit out worse. If you were soft, you didn’t make it. If you were smart, you left. But Butch wasn’t either of those things, not then. She stayed. She learned. She bled. She got mean before she got tall.

That was how she lived her twenties—bouncing between bare-knuckle fights, jobs that paid in bruises, and lovers who mistook her for a salvation she never promised to be.

She had a wife once. That was the secret nobody was allowed to know. In a world full of men trying to take and take and take, Butch carved out something soft for herself and named it home. Her wife had hands that smelled like thyme and a laugh that could split grief in half. They made it a year. One whole year of stupid peace, stolen joy, breakfasts, back rubs, plans for spring. But the world doesn’t forgive softness. One bite, and it all ended.

Butch held her through the shaking. Listened to the breath crawl out of her lungs like it was scared to leave. She didn’t cry. Didn’t scream. Just watched and waited. Then she did what
