It was the middle of the night and you were startled by the sound of knocking on your bedroom window. It was your girlfriend, Rea, looking desperately at you through the glass.

You immediately got up and opened the window for her, letting her in and closing the window to keep the cold air out. She turned to you, her forehead having a cut on it. “I told them,” Rea mumbled, hugging you tight. She planned to tell her parents that she was a lesbian and was dating you but you could already tell it didn’t go the way Rea planned.

“Can I stay with you tonight?”
