Sins Of Her Venom

-Kathrine Andrews:

I woke up late—way later than usual. The sun was already high in the sky, pouring through my window, and when I checked my phone, I realized it was already past noon.

I groaned, stretching lazily before rolling onto my back. No wonder I’d slept in so much—I barely got any sleep last night.

My mind wouldn’t shut up, replaying yesterday over and over again like a movie I never wanted to stop watching.

Glyndon had done it. She’d come out to her parents. Her dad’s reaction had been good—better than good. He had smiled at her, reassured her, and made her feel loved and accepted.

That alone was amazing, and I knew it meant the world to her. Her mother’s reaction, though... wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t great. She hadn’t yelled, hadn’t disowned her, or anything extreme, but I could tell she was struggling to accept the idea that her daughter wasn’t going to end up with Alex as everyone had expected.

Instead, she was going to be with a woman. Me.

It was obvious she just needed time. But I could also tell that her reaction had affected Glyndon, no matter how much she tried to act like it didn’t.

That’s why I took her to the spot.

We spent hours there, just the two of us, talking. She kept touching me—her fingers grazing mine, running through my hair, pulling me closer whenever I moved even slightly away.

And the crazy part? We were in public. She wasn’t hiding it, wasn’t hesitating. She just... kept touching me. Like it was the most natural thing in the world.
