Hey guys!
So I'm working on the prologue of my novel and I've run into a bit of an issue... The prologue centers around two characters, a girl and her friend. This is simple enough but I don't want people to know the gender of said friend, my real problem is finding a word to describe the friend that is compatible with his/her and he/she.
This is a sentence from my prologue where said issue takes place:
Her friend sniffled and she looked up watching as tears made a steady path down THEIR? already tear stained cheeks.
A broken sob escaped her friend and she blinked away the tears that were forming in her eyes. Her vision needed to be clear, she had to stay focused. She watched as her friend opened THEIR? mouth, lips parting before slipping the gun between them.
Please, please if anyone has any suggestions let me know! I really don't want to give the gender of the friend as it will be ruin the ending of book.
