Stone Circle Mad Love

Steph could always count on her mother to lift her spirits, no matter what was going on in Steph's world. And the fact that Valette seemed extra happy this morning made her daughter smile, wondering what the good news was. What is it? she asked, her voice filling with excitement. 

When Stark's name came up, Steph's expression changed to one of expectation. She knew Valette and Stark had been getting closer the past few weeks, and Steph wasn't surprised to hear that her mother liked-- no, loved-- him. So, are you two...? Her voice trailed off, figuring her mother would understand what she was asking. Were they official?

Her ears perked when her mother brought up a subject most teenagers would dread to have. But, Steph's history didn't afford her the knowledge to know exactly what Valette was talking about. What kind of girl things? she asked, curious.
