They both jumped as they heard the front door slam. Cassidy crept into the room, and then Caroline stormed in after her and glared at Andrea. "I hate you!" she shouted. "Why did you move in?! You've ruined my life!” Then she ran out of the room and up the stairs, and her bedroom door slammed. Andrea looked to her lover with a lost expression in her eyes. She didn’t understand. When she’d moved in, the girls had seemed okay with it. Happy, even. They’d said she made their mother sing in the shower, as if that explained everything. Maybe it did.
"Cass, what's going on?" Andrea asked, tears in her voice.
"Becky's mom says that she can't hang out with Caroline anymore because you and mom are sinners and setting a bad example." Cassidy rolled her eyes to indicate exactly what she thought of Becky's mother. "They've been best friends since they were four. God, her mom is so stupid."
"Thank you, Cassidy," Miranda said. Cassidy took the hint and left the room.
Miranda moved to sit beside Andrea, taking her hand. "This is not your fault,” she said firmly, and Andrea nodded her head sadly, her gaze never leaving the floor. “That woman is the most narrow-minded, ridiculous….” She sighed and continued, "I'll go talk to Caroline. I'll tell her that outbursts like that aren't acceptable, and-"
"No, let me talk to her," Andrea insisted, taking a deep breath and rising to her feet.
