Clout Is Thicker Than Blood

Summary

My cousin came home for the holidays, and during a lull in the conversation, I asked the most standard, filler question imaginable: "So, Taylor, seeing anyone special lately?"

Taylor didn't even blink. She just rolled her eyes and snapped, "Why? You looking to hand yours over?"

I froze, the air leaving my lungs. I had no idea how to respond to that kind of vitriol.

My mom, bless her heart, walked over right then, totally missing the tension. "So, honey, when are we going to see you walk down the aisle?"
