"There is on thing I'm wondering, though Dad," Kyle began, looking at his father.
"What's that?" Patrick asked curiously.
"You didn't seem upset when you thought I was gay," Kyle said, "I thought the whole 'get a fiancee by 18' was because you thought I was gay."
Patrick started twiddling his thumb in embarrassment.
"Well, that wasn't the reason really," Patrick began, then sighed deeply, "It was more your Mother who was worried."
"Mum?"
"She was worried you were too close to Kay," Patrick explained, "Your world revolved around your sister too much that she was worried you may not be able to hook up with anyone."
Kyle looked at his father in horror.
Patrick put up his hands in surrender, "I know, I know! But it was a legitimate fear for her then. She realised it wasn't so a couple of years ago but … well, since you never looked interested in anyone at all, we thought it was best to just leave it as it is."
