Three

Sophie removed her ear from the door.

Two

She placed her hand back on the knob.

One

The former moonlark shoved the door open.

The fuck?

Milanna was there sitting on her bed, looking safe. And next to her was... Joy?

Joy was Cassidy's (Reality, Chapter 26) younger sister, about the same age as Mila. Long brown hair, and caramel skin accented her aquamarine eyes as she sat next to Milanna. Her lips were the same color as her daughters, it was identical. And it was smudged...

"What's going on here?" Sophie said, the edge in her voice clear.

"Uh...," Milanna said while nervously chuckling, her eyes darting everywhere except for her mother.

"Joy?"

No reply.

"And why is Mila's lipstick on your lips?" the older blond confronted the young girls.

"Wewerekissingandumweredating?" Joy rushed through.

Sophie glanced back at her daughter and popped her hips out.

"Mila?"

Milanna took a deep breath and stood up, grabbing Joy's hand.

"What I'm telling you next might make you hate me. It might change the way you see me. But I'm not changing for you. Or anybody else."

The young blonde took in a deep breath.

"Mom, Joy and I aren't just friends. We're dating."

It hit Sophie a bit late what she was trying to say.

"I'm lesbian."
