With a shuddering breath, Esther looks at Mr. Hadriel and says, "And you..." Her voice cracks as she tries to find the words. "You were always my rock, my support. From now on, I want you to be... Ruby." She hesitates for a moment before adding softly, "My ruby."

The three of them sit there in silence for what feels like hours, holding each other close and trying to come to terms with the unbelievable changes that have taken place.

As the days go by, Esther takes care of Ruby, who was once her husband, and Lily, who was her stepson. They all struggle with their new identities, but they also find solace in one another.

Esther spends most of her time teaching Lily how to be a woman, showing her the ins and outs of femininity. Lily is eager to learn, and soon she's walking with graceful steps and wearing clothes that accentuate her curves.

Ruby, too, begins to embrace her new role.
