Summary:
âI was thinking,â Hayden says slowly, carefully, âthat it might be nice to add Lily to the WAG group chat? He couldnât come to events or anything still, and heâd have to go by Lily, but it might be⌠nice? A way for him toâ to be a part of things.â
Jackie sits back in her seat, taking a sip of coffee as she considers her husbandâs proposal.
It wasnât a terrible idea. Itâd involve lying to all the other WAGs, but Jackie wasnât too bothered by that. If Shane ever decided to come out, they would either understand or they wouldnâtâa line that would probably pretty closely mirror those who would be okay with Shane being gay and those who wouldnât. And those who wouldnâtâwell, fuck them anyway.
âThat does sound like it might be nice,â Jackie finally says, smiling when Hayden immediately sits up straighter at her approving words.
âYeah?â Hayden checks anyways.
 Or, despite his refusal to let her add him to the WAG group chat, Jackie manages to quickly befriend Shaneâs boyfriend. It takes longer for her to understand exactly what that means.
