Tag sits next to me, looking larger than life on the loveseat.
“Honey, what’s going on?” Mom has concern etched on her face. “Is everything okay?”
I nod, biting my lip as Tag’s and my eyes meet.
A few moments later, Terrance walks in.
He glances at the two of us, his face lighting up with a smile when he sees me.
“Hello, Luna.” He glances at Tag as I stand up to give him a hug. “Thomas. To what do we owe this visit?”
Tag has always had a tough relationship with his dad. It started long ago and worsened when he stopped playing football. I know Tag has never quite felt adequate around his dad, and over time I hoped that would get better, but both of them are as stubborn as each other. From what I know, he’s always wanted Tag to strive to be better, and joining the MC wasn’t exactly on his list of life goals for his son.
“We have some exciting news,” I say, trying to keep my tone even, but I’m also bursting to get it out.
Adrenaline runs through my veins and when I feel Tag’s hand on mine, I turn to look at him. He nods and I smile softly. When I turn back, mom and Terrance are staring down at his hand.
This isn’t like us. Not that we fought like cats and dogs in front of them, but there’s always been hostility on our visits home. We haven’t visited home together, though, in years.
I open my mouth, then close it again, tears springing to my eyes as I’m overcome with emotion.
This could be the day I lose my mom.
I had many thoughts about what to say, but now words won't come out.
“Me and Luna are together,” Tag says suddenly, knocking the wind from my sails.
Terrance’s frown deepens, if that’s at all possible.
Silence hangs in the air.
To add insult to injury, the big guy who would murder anyone who even looks at me sideways, but also likes to cuddle, adds, “We’re in love.”
Holy fucking shit.
I swallow hard, my mouth dry as my mom slaps her hands over her mouth.
This wasn't the plan.
“Oh my god,” she says, behind her hands.
“Mom?” Tears fall down my face as I swipe them away.
“You’ve finally admitted it,” she says, her words muffled. “I can’t believe it.”
My eyes go wide as Terrance looks between the three of us. “What the hell is going on here?”
Tag stares at his father. “Just what I said. We tried to fight it, for years, but we can’t do it anymore. I have feelings for her that go beyond…”
“Her being your sister?”
“She’s not my actual sister, Dad, she never has been. We both know that. We lived under the same roof for less than a year. I’ve never seen her like that.”
“Did something happen then?” His dad balks, his face screwing up in disgust.
We knew that he’d be the one to take it the hardest.
My mom still has her hands slapped over her mouth in shock.
