THIRTEEN

“Are you ready for this?” Cassie asked, a thumb on the door handle that led to the inside of her mother’s house. It was perhaps a little too late for that question, but she asked it anyway, the familiar red brick of the porch surrounding them, a metal Lone Star hanging proudly above the door. She felt almost like she was sixteen again, bringing a boy home to pass the “mom test,” except she wasn’t, she didn’t have a boy, and she couldn’t care less what her mother really thought.

“What if I said ‘no’?” Rachel asked playfully, knowing it would be fine—they were together, that’s all that mattered—but couldn’t resist a little jab in the moment.

“I’d say let’s go; we can go back to Austin.”

“I’m just giving you a hard time! How bad can they be? I’ve told you about my family . . . there’s no way yours is worse. Let’s go, counselor.”

“We’re here,” Cassie announced to no one in particular as they entered the one-level home, familiar music playing in the background. Oh God, Cassie thought, she’s already playing Christmas music. When no one greeted in return, she realized it was a blessing. “They must be in the game room . . . want to see the house before being bombarded?” Cassie took Rachel’s hand and added with a wink, “Wanna see my room?”

A silent nod in return and they were down the hall, rounding the bend to the bedroom of her youth.

“This is it,” Cassie started, crossing under the threshold to see something she didn’t expect. Her room had been turned into what appeared to be a craft room. “But, uh, this isn’t quite how I left it. It looks like Martha Stewart threw up in here!”

“It’s . . . lovely? Is this where you brooded as a young girl, surrounded by art supplies and construction paper?!” Rachel laughed, amused at the purpose of the back bedroom. It was definitely a craft room, complete with jars of glitter, reams of colored paper, and half-finished greeting cards pinned to a bulletin board. A deeper look revealed a Cricket machine for creating said cards.

“It definitely is something, huh? I always wanted to bring a girl here, but I never did, and wow . . . I just didn’t expect this.”

Understanding they wouldn’t be alone long, and wanting to give Cassie something she never had, Rachel stepped forward to close the space that had developed between them as they’d surveyed the contents of the room. She backed them against the only empty wall space that existed, a big smile on her face, and worked her thigh in between Cassie’s legs, effectively pinning her in place. “And, what would you have done, if you’d gotten a girl here?”

Cassie thought briefly, but didn’t have a chance to respond. Before she could say anything, lips were on hers, the sweet smell of Rachel’s conditioner filling her senses, a warm feeling developing in her core. For a moment, she wasn’t in the bedroom of her youth, about to introduce her other half to her family.
