Margaret sipped her wine as she thought about what Nicole had said. She knew Nicole had a point but it was hard to admit that so she changed the subject instead.
"How could I have not known about her? She was so normal," Margaret said.
"Margaret, you daughter is normal. Just because she prefers a woman instead of a man doesn't mean she's not," Nicole said seriously.
"But being like that isn't normal," Margaret insisted.
"Really? And why do you think that?"
"Because there's a reason why there are men and women. Being with the opposite sex, that's the way it's supposed to be."
"I see. Wish I could agree with you on that one Margaret but the heart, the mind and the body all want what they want. Love and physical attraction isn't black and white, never has been."
"You believe that?" Margaret asked.
"I believe it and I know it," Nicole said and stood. She moved to her desk and picked up a picture frame which she handed to Margaret. In the picture there was a stunningly beautiful young woman with a gorgeous smile on her pretty face.
"That is Amy, my heart, my love, my wife and partner," Nicole said proudly.
"Oh my god, you're a lesbian," Margaret said shocked.
"Yes Margaret, I am and have always been. You never knew, never guessed. My salon is lesbian friendly. Most of the women who come here are gay or bisexual. There's nothing abnormal about us just like there's nothing abnormal about your daughter."
Margaret was shocked. Nicole was a successful young woman. Beautiful and kind. She was always respectful and treated her customers well. Margaret would never have guessed her being anything but a regular young woman with a husband and perhaps kids.
"I never fathomed that any woman I ever met here would be a lesbian. I guess it's not so out of the ordinary after all." Margaret said as her mind came to terms with what Nicole was telling her. She gulped down the last of her wine and asked for a refill, which Nicole obliged.
Nicole waited patiently for Margaret to make the next move in their conversation. Margaret sipped her wine slowly and eyed the picture of Amy that she was still holding.
"She's a very beautiful young woman," Margaret offered.
"Thank you, yes she certainly is," Nicole said.
"You two are happy together, being married?"
"Quite," Nicole answered with a huge smile.
"I don't mean to pry but how does it work exactly between two women?" Margaret dared to ask.
"You're going to have to be a little more specific in what you're asking Margaret," Nicole told her.
"Yes, I was just wondering about the dynamics of the marriage," Margaret clarified.
"Ah yes, you are wondering since I said Amy was my wife, if that makes me the husband, correct?"
"I don't want to offend or intrude but yes, I wondered about that," Margaret admitted.
"You're thinking in black and white again, looking at things from a husband/wife perspective. We are partners; we share the roles that are usually separate in a straight marriage," Nicole told her.
"I'm not sure if I'll ever understand that," Margaret said.
"Well maybe you don't have to understand it, but for your daughter's sake, you need to try and accept it. Does she have someone in her life?"
"Yes. She mentioned that she does."
"Then my advice is to at least try to make peace with the situation. Meet your daughter's girlfriend and get to know her. You might be pleasantly surprised," Nicole told her.
"I don't know; I'll have to think about it."
"Yes, do that Margaret. Think long and hard. Just try to be happy for your daughter, that's she's found someone to love," Nicole ended.
Margaret thanked her for her help and patience. She had a lot to think about and some hard decisions to make.

ramblin2020over 3 years agoI love the description of the difference in homosexual vs hetero relationships in the last page. I think it's probably tough to explain and the idea of not comparing but understanding resonated. Loved the framing of that conversation.
Anonymousabout 8 years agoWhat she did with kate was wrong she lied and cheated on her.she should hv said the truth to her.kate was so undertanaing.she wld gv her the chance to explore.but ari has to lie.so yes i hate ari's cheating ass thats y m nomore interested in her sad story .i would say to ari karma is a bitch.what u0did to kate dats what ur father z gvng u back.
bullride84almost 10 years agoWhat is she apologizing for. And Viv forgiving her, this scene was not necessary. If anything to salvage the friendship it should be the other way round.
When Kate first confronted Viv it was more justification of what she and Ari did. She or Ari never apologized
KarenEabout 10 years agoI'm not gay, so I'm probably not qualified to comment on this issue, but in my mind loving Kate doesn't necessarily make Megan a lesbian.
A lesbian is a woman who is attracted to other women. At least as far as has been explained in the story Megan is NOT attracted to other women in general, she has just fallen in love with Kate.
This may be splitting hairs, but to me at least there is a difference!
