Nicole and Diana, both in their early twenties, are close friends. They have reached a crucial moment in their lives. While discussing their problems concerning a boyfriend who has been important to them at different times, it becomes clear that Diana and Nicole have a warm and loving friendship. Diana at one point playfully tells Nicole, ‘We're so compatible. If you were a man l'd definitely marry you.’ Taking Diana's remark seriously, Nicole later admits she has a sexual attraction to her. Both then realise that their relationship has reached a turning point.

It is a non-rhetorical treatment of "coming out" that will effectively reach a general audience.
