#024 – Family
A Dyke Thing
100 words
Paige was fortunate to have a family that understood, being that they'd already weathered that storm.
Alex, however, was lucky if her mom even looked her in the eyes most days, after she accidentally found out about Paige. She hadn't had the nerve to tell her mother that she was dating Paige because she knew that her mother would never understand, even though she would pretend to.
"It must be a dyke thing," her mother often said when Alex said or did something that didn't make sense to her.
"No, it must be a drunk thing." Alex would counter angrily.
