She hadn’t really thought Pearl would say no, but Garnet is relieved regardless. They just have to make their way past her parents, hopefully without any knowing looks or too much prying in front of Pearl. She opens the front door carefully, leading the pair of them into her home.

“We’re back,” she calls out somewhat needlessly as both of her mothers are sitting in the living room. She has the strangest feeling they might have been watching them walk up from the window. Garnet cannot completely hide the smile that Pearl is bringing out of her, but as she meets their expectant gaze she can only hope her eyes convey how much she doesn’t want them asking about her date just yet. “We’re going to go hang out in my room,” she announces, clearing her throat. She gives Pearl just enough time to greet them as she always insists on before tugging on her arm and urging her away.
