Chapter Text
Izzy isn't shallow. She liked to pretend to be. A shield she put up after her mum died. Cat understood it. When she came out and her mum rejected her, Cat did the same thing. Front and bullshit so no one could see how deep the hurt really went. Bone deep, soul deep, heart shattered in tiny pieces level deep.
When they were alone, and the shields were down Cat could see into Izzy's soul. The good and the bad, the happiness and the sadness. It's why she loved her. The real Izzy. She loved her, Cat could admit that.
