I love this! I could feel sad that they’ve had to hide, but instead I’m feeling joyful about where they’re at now. Wail away, ladies.

Right on! Thank you. :)

Such sadness for Poppy, but with Pomona beside her - beautifully created.

This is beautiful. I love how Poppy gradually overcomes her fear and it's a treat to see one of my favourite pairings here.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's a new pairing to me but I grew to love it while writing. :)

When Poppy was young, she never knew a love that wasn't dangerous. To touch another girl's hand, to let their lips brush together tenderly- these secret ecstasies always bore the risk of public shame.

Wonderful opening line, and the rest just gets better. I love the sound/silence contrasts, fear/infatuation, conformity/riot of color. Great images and metaphors.

I just love this, or can't you tell? :)
