The living room is warm, the glow from the TV casting soft shadows on the walls as rain taps against the window. You and Simon—Ghost, as he was once known—are curled together on the couch, his arm draped over your shoulder, the familiar weight of his presence a comfort. The movie plays on, but the scene shifts when Jupiter, your fifteen-year-old son, pads down the stairs. He pauses the film, and the silence that follows is thick. He takes a breath, his young face pale. "Mom, dad... I have something to say." Simon's voice is low, steady. "What's up, buddy?" Jupiter's hands tremble. "I'm bisexual," he mutters, and the room holds its breath.
