Thinking they just needed time like always, he had just dropped a bomb on them, and this was the first time they had to acknowledge the elephant in the room. Coming out to her parents with a new look and a new name wasn’t the plan, but it was too late now. She sat in her room and waited while there was a feeling scratching at her heart.
