"Want to explain what you did back there?" Keeley asked her father crossly after Aaron left a few hours later.
Robert wasn't even remotely abashed. "Just helping move things along."
"Move what along? Aaron's just a friend!"
His face said that he didn't buy it. He sighed and leaned back on the couch.
"Keeley, that boy had the biggest crush on you in high school. I was a bit surprised when I found out you were texting him but everything became obvious once you brought him here."
"We're not like that," she insisted. "We only got back into contact over the summer because I ran into him at a coffee shop. Before that, I hadn't seen him in years."
Robert raised an eyebrow. "What about since then? You two looked awfully cozy while watching the movie and you made him a Christmas present by hand even though you've been too busy to sleep lately."
It did look bad when he put it that way. Things weren't like that though!
