[PureTaboo] How Much We've Both Changed (Jenna Gargles)

Alyssa receives a phone call from her estranged stepfather, Darryl, after a long period of silence following her other parent's death. Darryl expresses regret for his past behavior and wishes to reconnect, having recently learned about Alyssa's transition. Despite her suspicions, Alyssa hopes for a familial relationship and agrees to meet. Upon Darryl's arrival, he is overly affectionate and compliments Alyssa’s appearance. They sit down to catch up, during which Alyssa confronts Darryl about his previous indifference towards her. He attributes his past behavior to grief and insists that they have both changed, suggesting they focus on the future. Alyssa is open to moving forward but remains cautious and hurt. Darryl shifts the conversation to personal topics, showing a keen interest in Alyssa's life while subtly probing her availability. Alyssa, flattered by the attention, shares that she is single. Darryl encourages her to take pictures with him, and they share some family photos, during which he unexpectedly kisses her on the cheek. As the conversation progresses, Darryl begins asking about her transition and offers to buy her gifts, which soon leads to uncomfortable suggestions, including lingerie. Alyssa confronts him, realizing his interest is not purely familial. Darryl admits to his sexual attraction towards her and makes it clear that he will only be involved in her life under those conditions. Caught between her desire for a familial connection and the inappropriate nature of Darryl's intentions, Alyssa ultimately agrees to engage with him sexually. The situation raises questions about the authenticity of their relationship and the impact on Alyssa's search for family.
