Chapter 10: Awkward Conversations

As the morning sun filtered through the canvas walls of their tent, casting a warm glow over the space, Selene, Lyra, and Elysia found themselves facing an uncomfortable reality. The events of the previous night hung heavy in the air, their minds filled with questions and uncertainty.

With hesitant glances exchanged between them, they sat in awkward silence, each unsure of how to broach the subject that hung between them like a heavy cloud. Finally, it was Selene who spoke, her voice tentative as she cleared her throat.

"I think we need to talk about what happened last night," she began, her words hesitant as she searched for the right way to express herself.

Lyra and Elysia nodded in agreement, their expressions mirroring Selene's unease as they waited for her to continue. With a deep breath, Selene forged ahead, her eyes fixed on the ground as she struggled to find the right words.

"I know that what happened was unexpected, and maybe even a little... unconventional," she said, her voice trailing off as she struggled to articulate her thoughts.

Lyra reached out, placing a comforting hand on Selene's arm. "It's okay, Selene," she said, her voice gentle and reassuring. "We're all adults here, and what happened last night was... well, it was just one of those things."

Elysia nodded in agreement, her expression thoughtful as she considered Selene's words. "I think what's important is that we're all on the same page," she said, her voice calm and measured. "We need to be honest with each other about how we're feeling and what we want moving forward."

Selene sighed, a weight lifting from her shoulders as she realized that she wasn't alone in her uncertainty. With Lyra and Elysia by her side, she knew that they would find a way to navigate this new chapter in their relationship, whatever it may bring.
