Sarah Jane looked at Maria as if she’d just grown a second head. ‘You what?’ she breathed out, seeking out the kitchen countertop for support.
‘I said, I love you’ Maria said with unwavering clarity to her voice, ‘and I have for a long time’.
Sarah Jane’s heart skipped a beat at the woman’s words, not daring to believe what she was saying, ‘Maria- it’s just the life I’ve shown you...’ she offered pathetically, although she knew that her offering would be batted aside by the look in Maria’s eyes.

Sarah Jane’s head was spinning. ‘Maria we can’t- people would never accept-‘ she began, but Maria interrupted her.
‘What’s life without a little risk here and there?’ she asked, her voice low and ever so slightly seductive as she sidled close to Sarah Jane.
