Innocence — Caitlin Ricci

Attending a candlelight vigil for Kassandra, a murdered black transwoman, James meets Michael, Kassandra's brother and a regular at the kink club Sirenia where the vigil is held. When James goes to return a shirt Michael let him borrow, the two strike up a friendship, despite the years between them, the very different lives they lead, and racial tension in the aftermath of Kassandra's death. And as Michael introduces James to dating and kink, their friendship quickly evolves into more.
