Mum looked sad at that.
"Is that how it is, then, the two of you...?" and we both nodded, unable to lie to her, unable to deny any longer what was happening between us.
Min chose that moment to speak up.
"Let it go, Maureen, and don't worry about them, they'll be okay; they have what they want, and they have what they need; just be happy for them."
I snapped round to look at Min, hardly expecting her to understand, or to catch the smile of understanding and approval on Doreen's face. Min took my hand.
"Darryl, Lena, are you both positive this is what you really want? Because what you do now is for real, and there's no going back, so tell me, are you ready for this?"
I looked at dad, but he was obviously waiting for my answer, as was Lena, her eyes shining with unshed tears.
"Mum, dad, Aunt Min, Lena and I love each other. We've had a whole lifetime to work this out, even if I didn't know that was what I was doing. There's no-one else for me, there never really has been, there's only Lena, and I can't leave her, I won't. I love her, and I always will. Mum, you and dad can go away now, Lena and I will be fine, I promise, we'll be here, we'll always be here for each other!"
Mum hugged me, kissed me on the forehead and slipped a small package into my hand.
"Open it and give it to Lena!" she whispered, so I opened it. Inside was an antique gold engagement ring, a cluster of small diamonds in a small exquisite heart setting.
"It was your Great-Grandmother's, now go on, you know what to do!"

goducks1over 5 years agojust another brilliant chapter! 5 stars. your stories are always fun and sexy to read
Tigersmanover 9 years agoAs I write this comment I am doing so through reared blurred eyes. At one time I would not have wept over this story, but the soulmate that I threw away told me it was okay to cry, to let my emotions out. That was over thirty years ago. This story is so full of emotions it is next to impossible not to be moved by it.
Anonymousabout 10 years agothe "either/or" aspect of the story. It truly was a realistic moment that is too often missing in many stories (including your own). In every relationship, taboo or otherwise, there has to be compromise. For Daryl, either be a sister or the wife but not both, is what made me post my 1st comment ever. When I read that, my immediate reaction was: "Finally!"
Rigatonyover 10 years agoI can't speak for any other men, but I pretty much began leaking from the eyes upon reading about the Fathers condition, and by the end of this chapter, I was flowing retina lubrication pretty freely. Of course, even as I just turned 53, I've always been unashamed to cry, and maybe even enjoy how it makes so many "men" uncomfortable.
Your writing is beautiful. It draws the reader in, and immerses them into the story, as if it was our own. Thank you for sharing your gift with us! Rig-A-Tony
