What A Christmas, Carol

... Linda had even once confessed that she considered it a good thing, because Harry’s conscience urged him to buy her large gifts and expensive holidays. But it wasn’t Carol’s way of thinking. Not anymore. “I’ve met a couple at the cabin, and I stayed with them.” She could see Linda’s eyes widen for a moment and felt a giddy pleasure over the bomb she was about to drop. “And by ‘with them’ I mean, in their bed.” She had paused long enough so Linda, predictably, seized the moment to take a sip from her coke. It came back out through her nose. “Fuck! You what?” she asked between coughs and sneezes. “I became their lover.” Now Linda’s eyes were large as saucers. It was time for the coup d’état. “My contract here was about to expire anyway, and I’m not sure they’d renew it, what with the layoffs in October. Edgar offered me a job in his company, and I’ll be moving in with them at the end of January. They live near the coast. You know I always wanted to live close to the sea.” The silence stretched. Linda’s jaw worked, but no sound came from her lips. Carol began feeling uncomfortable when her friend’s eyes ...

Shy, straight, old-fashioned Carol goes to the cabin for holidays, gets set up and cheated by her fiancé and comes back bisexual and in love with a couple, with whom she’s about to move in. Did I get that right?” At least Linda didn’t sugar-coat things, ever. “To the point. But…” Carol leaned forward herself, whispering with a wink, “...it was a Christmas present!” “A… Christmas present?” Linda snorted. “A Christmas present, really? Oh my god, you’re so crazy!” Carol joined in her laughter. She’d miss Linda, who was wiping her eyes by now, but she couldn’t wait to join June and Edgar. When the older woman had brought up the idea, she had felt like teenager in love for the first time, full of butterflies and ready to conquer the world. The funny thing was, even after two weeks, she still felt the same. She suddenly noticed that Linda had fallen silent, a pensive look in her eyes. “You’re really in love, aren’t you?” she asked while the last of Carol’s own chuckles ebbed away. “Totally and utterly.”
