"I am determined; this is going to happen." Mrs. Jefferson had made her decision, and she would not give Carol the chance to say no.
Carol's mother left her with no alternative, and she was forced to invite Kyle to their family home. Luckily, he graciously accepted the invitation to meet her parents and even seemed excited.
Carol was mightily relieved. Kyle was her first boyfriend. Attracted by his consideration and elegance, Carol thought he was the best man she had ever met. He was indeed a selfless gentleman.
Thinking of that, Carol fell asleep.
The next morning, Kyle came to Carol's house, with gifts in hand for her and her parents. Kyle didn't try anything overly impressive to please Carol's parents, but they got the impression that he was a reliable, polite man.
Feeling satisfied with him, Carol's parents gave their consent to their relationship.
