She wanted so desperately to believe her friend. That no matter what she said, nothing would change. But how could it not? This was... not a normal situation. Some would even consider it disgusting. But Mia was incapable of seeing it like that, if only because no one else could feel what she felt for her brother. It was so perfect in every way, how could it be so taboo?
Before she could stop it though, the words were bubbling up, past her lips. "Its Terence, Susan. My brother. We're... together. We both know it's not right, we're not unaware of that, or hiding from the truth. But we can't help it." She couldn't stop the tears from sliding silently down her cheeks, her words barely a whisper as she admitted it. And once it was out in the open, she couldn't bare to look at the other woman out of fear of what she'd see. But she needed to tell someone else. She needed someone to know and not look at her like a complete freak. And while her family didn't see her like that, there was a difference between their acceptance, and that of a friend.
