Olivia in the Mocha; Friday morning; OTA and MW.
Olivia was a late night DJ which often meant she wasn't up too much before Noon, but today was different.
She made her way down to the Mocha and got a cup of coffee, then sat down and picked up a paper that someone had abandoned on the table. Right there on the front page was a rather large picture of her father and the headline: Conservative Senator David Paige Backs Gay Marriage!
She blinked twice, then went on to read that at a debate last night, her father's opponent for his seat on the Senate had called him out concerning her brother Billy's impending marriage to his long-time parter. Her father, surprisingly, had stood up for his family. He was quoted as saying, "My son is my blood, and I will stand firm beside him. He is a human like the rest of us, and deserves to love as openly as any of us do. If he wants to swear that love before the God that we are taught made him in his image, I do not see the wrong in that. "
She was stunned, to put it lightly. But most of all? Impressed. Proud.
For the first time in a very long time, she was proud of her father.
