The Roommates – 2nd Dimension: Chapter 27
Previously~~~~~~~~~~~~
You know, Grandpa, I have a feeling youd understand me. That youd love me in spite of how I feel and howhow I love. Its been so hard for me, Grandpa. This past year has been crazy. Its really made me realize how much I miss Mom. I gotta tell you. Im mad at her. She abandoned all of us and thats not right. Shes not even here to say goodbye to you.

Karen was holding her mothers hand, as they slowly stepped in time together. Tina had her arm around Bettes shoulder, wanting to be close to her partner, and hoping this gesture would be interpreted merely as a sign of friendship.
