“It wasn’t like that, Mother,” said Quin from the living room, she’d been listening to new tracks with her head phones on, not having heard her mother’s always dramatic entrance.
“What was it like, Harlequin?” asked Peggy quickly. “Were you drinking, is this how you ended up with Alice in your bed?”
“Oh, Peggy, no we weren’t…,” began Alice, desperate to not have Peggy thinking that she and Quin were sleeping together. Alice knew that Quin hadn’t told her mother yet, and was trying to gauge when the right time would be.
“Alice, do stay out of this,” warned Peggy with a commanding look. Alice backed away, hiding behind the door.
Quin said nothing, the stoic look on her face were masking her feelings, looking down at her feet, jaw clenched. “Mother.”
“Do not Mother me, Harlequin, after all this time, you cannot lie to me, I won’t put up with this,” yelled Peggy loudly.
Alice swallowed, stepping back and trying to reason why Peggy was going off the deep end. Peggy was with a woman, as was Helena, so why did it matter that Quin was gay or not?
“Mother, I swear to you…”
“I’ve heard it all, Harlequin, all of it, no more, I can’t,” said Peggy rushing out of the room, her larger than life purse swinging behind her.
“God fucking damn it,” said Quin after a long moment. Going back to the hallway, seeing her mother waiting at the elevator, “Mother.”
“I said…,” began Peggy, tears falling from her eyes, wiping them absently away. “I lost one child, Harlequin; I cannot bear to lose another one.”
“I wasn’t drinking,” said Quin softly as she approached her mother with timid steps, her hands sliding into her pockets. “I promise you. I won’t ever go down that road again, I lost almost two years of my life because of my addiction, and I’m not going to do it again.”
Peggy swallowed hard, the elevator clattering open, looking at Quin, whose emerald green eyes were honest, clear, and pleading, “You weren’t…”
“No.”

You have left us in a bad cliff hanger. The whole gang was there except Jenny. so who in the world did you kill this time. Not Bette nor Jo. Please Please Please poat sooner than later. thanks
Whoa, what?!?! JM, I’ve missed this story… finding a post from you brightened what’s been a really crap-tastic day. I quite liked the banter among the group… and the end of the chapter… I have to admit, I’m scared someone’s going to die. So I’m begging the Rogue one, please, let the supernatural ones absorb any & all potentially fatal damage and keep everyone else safe. Those powers have to be good for something other than immortality, right? Needless to say, you’ve got to post soon, Janet. Thanks
What is it? I loved this posting it was fun to have the whole greoup together.
OH FUCK!!! What didja do NOW?!!! LOL. I’m not even gonna plead for mercy cause I know it’ll be a lost cause. Loved the camaraderie between the group. Too funny how everyone’s dirty little secrets got told at the table. Great update.
