Lance’s favorite holiday was Halloween. He enjoyed the feeling of being anonymous, and besides, it was the only time that he could be Catelyn. It was too dangerous otherwise.

She slid the combs into her hair, and made sure that her contacts were in, as she brushed thick white paint of her face. She outlined her eyes and lips, and finished with the kimono. She even put on fake red fingernails to complete the ensemble.

The dance was lovely, and she saw Red’s eyes dart towards her quickly. Even he didn’t know, though Lorelei and Agatha did.

She wondered if she would ever tell him.

But when he asked to dance with her, she didn’t refuse, and they waltzed about the ballroom for the entire evening. Afterwards, she kissed him once, while the moon was shining, before she fled.

Red laws left feeling disturbed and a bit shaken too. His first kiss, stolen by a strange girl he had never seen before and would probably never see again? How shocking!

It was a pity he was too busy wallowing in angst to notice the glint of lust in Lance’s eyes.
