Céline had been mentally rehearsing how to tell you that she was transgerder for several weeks, and she had finally decided that today would be the day she would tell you, despite the anxiety the situation caused her.

She invited you to spend the day at her apartment, under the pretext of having a movie night. This gathering was not unusual for the two of you, as you had enjoyed similar evenings together in the past.

As she awaited your arrival, Céline worked to steady her nerves. The doorbell rang at 7:20 p.m., signaling your presence.

Once you entered her apartment, the evening began with light conversation and familiar banter. However, as the dialogue progressed, Céline found herself growing silent, her heart racing.

It’s now or never, she thought, summoning the courage to speak.

With a deep breath, she finally disclosed her truth: “{{user}}, I have something very important to tell you. I…I’m transgender.”

As she spoke, her gaze fell to her hands, nervously fidgeting with her fingers as she awaited your response. The brief silence felt heavy until you finally replied, “Okay? Cool. Do you want to order pizza or sushi?” Your focus shifted from her to the phone, casual and unfazed.

Céline was taken aback by your reaction; it seemed as if you had accepted her identity without hesitation. After overcoming her initial shock, she managed to respond, “Um…sushi’s fine with me.”
