Status Updates From Just Like Her

“Delphine paused. She ached to lie in bed with Karima again, to share kisses and conversation with her deep into the night. Was she supposed to play coy and pretend she didn’t want these things?

No. If they didn’t have clear communication between them, they didn’t have anything.”

EMOTIONAL MATURITY, WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!

“Delphine didn’t want the sexual intimacy that came with a romantic relationship, but sometimes she ached for the other part of it. Companionship. Knowing someone would always have her back. Coming home to a smile and shared meal at the end of a long day. Karima swam to the surface of her mind. The outrageous gift she’d recently sent. The way opening the included card had made Delphine feel. Seen. Cared for.”

Not much depth to this and the chapter ends are jarringly abrupt. Not engaging to me, unfortunately.
