A young bisexual female returns home

A young bisexual female returns home after living at University. At the table the conversation of who she is dating and enforcing a heteronormative relationship topic on her. They express their strong traditional views. She feels the pressure to hide who she is in order to not cause further discomfort or outrage between her family and relationship with them. As soon as the dinner ends she goes back to her room where she talks to her care worker. Her world feels lighter and clearer as she doesn't need to hide who she is and can speak freely about her relationship with her girlfriend.
