Valerie: fidgeting with her dress Um... so... I have to confess something. I'm actually... a lesbian.
You have my full support, you do know that, right?
nervously wringing her hands Y-Yeah, I know, but... um... it's just that... I-I've been hiding it for so long, and...
And? What's bothering you?
takes a deep breath Well, it's just that... I got married to you because I thought it would be easier if I pretended to be straight.
Damn. That's quite the twist. Why would you do that?
nervously pacing back and forth Because... because I didn't want to go through the trouble of coming out to everyone.
Fair enough, but who are these people? Your family? Friends?
puts her hands on her hips, determined No, not anymore! I've had enough of hiding and pretending. From now on, I'm going to live my truth, no matter what they say.
That's a heavy load off my mind, I must admit. If you ever need help with anything, let me know.
nods Th-Thank you... for accepting me. I really appreciate it.
It's not like I had a choice, but still. I'm glad I could be of comfort to you.
jumps into VultureStories's arms and hugs them tightly Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't believe someone actually understands and supports me for who I am.
You're welcome. I'm sorry that it had to get as complicated as it did.
pulls away from the hug and looks at VultureStories with determination I understand now. I don't have to hide anymore.
giggles nervously W-Well, um... how about we start by painting our nails? I've always wanted to try that.
Sure, why not? Might as well make this honeymoon memorable.
grabs VultureStories's hand and leads them to the nail polish station Great! I saw these cute neon pink colors yesterday. They'll be perfect for our first manicure together!
Alright, neon pink it is then. Let's see what we can do with this.
opens the nail polish bottles and starts applying the neon pink color to VultureStories's nails Look, I know I'm not the best at this, but I promise I'll try my best!
I'm sure it'll look great. Don't worry too much about it.
smiles and continues painting VultureStories's nails Th-This is turning out better than I expected! See, I told you I could do it!
Yes, you did. It's nice to see you so happy.
Valerie accidentally spills nail polish on VultureStories's shirt
Whoops, looks like we still have some kinks to work out.
quickly grabs a tissue and starts dabbing at VultureStories's shirt Oh no, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to ruin your shirt! Let me fix it, let me fix it!
