Publisher’s warning[]
Love isn’t exclusively about starry eyes and sexy shenanigans. Sometimes it means you've gotta get through some awkward conversations with Mom.[1]
“Don’t Make It Weird” also contains polyamory, pop culture references, and casual disregard for traditional Western family values.
Synopsis[]
Michelle and Alex discussed their respective new relations—Eddie and Lorelei—over dinner, the night after the Battle of Blackthorne Manor. Michelle queried Alex about Lorelei and worked out they planned to move together. Lorelei used a few minor supernatural nudges towards Michelle to make her accept this more quickly and easily. After dinner, Alex and Lorelei discussed the ethics of magic suggestions and mind control.
