"Soooo, Siobhan." Marjorie turned to the blonde, a smile on her face. "What's up with you and that parent? I've never seen you so calm."

"What are you talking about Marjorie?" Siobhan rolled her eyes. She knew exactly what she was talking about.

"Jamie's mum, Vivian?" Marjorie leaned in, resting her head in her arms. Autumn just watched, eyebrow raised as usual.

"There's nothing going on between us two." Siobhan sighed, going back to her work.

"Hiya!" Vivian peaked her head in, waving to the staff.

"Hello my love! What can I do for you?" Marjorie smiled at her.

"Actually, I'm here for Siobhan." She spoke, stepping into the office. The bouquet of flowers, Sunflowers, now clear in sight.

Siobhan's head shot up, not expecting to hear that answer. "What?"

Marjorie and Autumn stared in shock, not expecting that.

"Siobhan, I'd like to take you out. Even if it's just a coffee." Vivian walked over to her desk and handed her the flowers, her green eyes peering into Siobhan's blue ones. "Please?"

"I- okay." The blonde played with her hair, a nervous tick of hers. She accepted the flowers, secretly had been her favorite ones, and smelled them. "Thank you, Vivian."

"I'll see you soon, then." Viv smiled and the sight alone made Siobhan turn red.

"Okay."

The women watched as Viv left, closing the door behind her before Aut and Marjorie looked at her.

"So there's absolutely nothing going on?!" Marjorie squealed.

"I didn't strike you for a flower person." Autumn smirked.

"Sunflowers are my favorite."

"But they're so bright! And you're... not." Marjorie tilted her head.

"Apparently you don't know everything." Siobhan just sighed and Autumn spoke next.

"I also didn't think you'd be interested in women, considering your past comments." She raised a brow.

"You also don't know everything. Just leave it alone."

"How can we leave it alone when you, the known loud and proud homophobe, are going on a date! With a woman!"

"Who's going on a date with a woman?" Charlotte walked into the office, papers in hand.

"Jamie's mum just asked her out on a date! In front of us! And she said yes!"

"Aren't you like... super against that?" Char looked at Siobhan, shocked.

"Not that it's anyone's business, I've always been bisexual. Roger is the one who forced me to hide it." Siobhan sighed.

"Wait- Aren't you still with him?!" Marjorie said loudly, her mouth dropping open. Siobhan's eyes widened as she realized too, she was still in a relationship.

As much as she hated the man, she could never cheat on him. It went against every moral she said. Aswell as, if he found out, she'd never see the light of day.

"Welllll, I'll just drop off these incident forms and head back to Winter." Charlotte quickly left.

"Oh fuck... I'm screwed..." Siobhan just put her head down and sighed quietly. Marjorie stared at her with concern laced all over her face. Autumn just went back to work.

Roger was going to literally kill her if he found out.
