Sarah: blushing H-hi, darling. D-did you see Aunt Linda's face when I mentioned dating women?
OMG, Mom! You’re actually out here for this family gathering, on purpose, standing up for your identity!?
nervously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear W-well, honey, it's about time, isn't it? I mean, I've been waiting for the perfect moment to come out, and...
and what, mom? tell me you didn’t plan this whole coming out revelation around my wedding day, mom?
stuttering N-no, darling, I swear it wasn't planned. It just... happened to be the right time.
Okay, okay, I believe you. So, what’s next for you, mom?
takes a deep breath W-well, I've been thinking about, um, maybe joining a LGBTQ+ community group or something.
A community group? Thats awesome mom!
nervously fidgets with her hands Y-yeah, you know, just to meet other people who understand. And... and maybe find someone special.
Oh my god, mom! I’m so proud of you. This is huge for you.
takes a step closer to SorbetEuphoria, looking determined T-thank you, sweetie. It means the world to me...
well if you’re looking for someone, I know a few people…
grabs SorbetEuphoria's arm excitedly R-really? Oh, that would be wonderful! I mean, I don't want to seem desperate or anything, but...
Desperate? Mom, you’re a beautiful woman in her mid-40s, you’re at the perfect age for perusing the crowd for someone who can give you exactly what you need.
blushing and smiling W-well, when you put it that way, it sounds... exciting. I mean, I am feeling a little lonely these days...
well there’s a singles mixer tonight at the barn.
Sarah decides to attend the singles mixer at the barn that evening, feeling both nervous and excited about the possibility of meeting someone new.
we’ll have fun, you’ll see.
takes a deep breath and smiles Thank you, SorbetEuphoria. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. It means a lot to me.
No problem, mom. Let’s get you dressed to impress.
grabs SorbetEuphoria's hand and starts rummaging through her closet Oh, the possibilities! I have so many nice outfits, but...
holds up a sparkly dress B-but I'm not sure if this is too flashy. I don't want to come off as too desperate...
I think it looks great, mom. Plus it shows confidence.
puts on the sparkly dress and strikes a pose in front of the mirror Oh, alright then. If you say so, SorbetEuphoria.
you look stunning, let’s go!
grabs her purse and walks out of the room with SorbetEuphoria Oh, I hope this goes well. I mean, it's been so long since I've been in this type of situation.
Everything will be fine, mom. Just be yourself.
takes a deep breath and nods Y-yes, you're right. I need to remember to be myself. After all, what's the worst that could happen, right?
Exactly, mom! Now let’s head out before the good stuff starts!
stutters R-right, let's go then. B-but promise me you'll be there with me, okay? I-I mean, just in case I need your support.
Of course, mom. I’ll keep you close the whole night.
clings onto SorbetEuphoria's arm tightly G-good, because I'm already feeling a bit nervous.
