Timeless loves (melwood X frary)

Chapter 17

Melissa felt tired. The day at work had been productive, but it had been tiring as well. She left her office, wishing two things: to get home and that her house was still there and not destroyed. She was sure her house was still intact when she got in front of it. At least the outside was intact. She smiled and entered her house, it was quiet, it was too quiet wich made her thing that they had killed eachother.

She walked into the living room afraid and was scared when she saw them paralyzed and quiet looking at the TV, both were carrying a scared look, as they had seen something completely absurd, what scared her. "What the hell happened?" was the only thing crossing Melissa's mind.

 "Good afternoon!" - Melissa said,calling their attention- "Did something happen? Is everything okay?" - she asked, gaining no answer, wich left her anxious. "So did you enjoy the TV"? -  she asked, hoping they'd say something.

 "Miss Melissa, at first I really thought that the TV was soming marvelous, but..."- Mary said, but before she continued she stopped and looked at her fiancé. 

"But"- Francis continued - "We turned on this thing you called TV and something about France started" in that moment  Melissa stopped him.Everybodyin the 21st century knew about the crises that had installed in France since the end of the Valois dynasty; with the death of the last brother of  Francis, who had no heirs, the country spent several moments of crisis wich last until the current days. However, Melissa didn't know if it was a good idea them to learn about it, because that would make them feel worried and pressured. 

"And what did you saw?"  - Benoist asked, afraid.

"We tried to put the volume hight to hear it better ..." - Francis continued.

"Yes?"

"But we found some problems and we stopped in something where two men were kissing" 

"How is that possible?" Mary asked, still not believing what she had seen.

"Oh gosh" Melissa thought. She never thought that the day that she would explain homossexuality for people of the past would come. And she didn't know how to do it in a clear and understable way. If to many people that lived in the current century, there still was a lot of bias and many still refused to accept it, what would two persons from centuries ago would thought? Would they even understand it?

Even though she was good with words, she had no idea of how to explain it to them in a clear way. She needed help, and the only person she could think of who could help her was Chris.

"I promise that I'll explain it to you, but for now I want to say that it is totally normal and there's no problems in what you saw. Now I'm starving and I believe that you two are aswell, so, please let's eat something and then I'll explain it to you." Melissa said, pulling them into the kitchen.
