"Son, don't worry about it then. If you're unsure about your feelings for Ava, it's fine. I'm glad that you two are getting along well, and there's a potential that it could grow into something. However, you must take into consideration Ava's feelings too. Give her space and let her grow, don't try to covet all her time when she starts attending college; do you understand what I mean?"
James fully understood what his mother meant. Lately, he became more and more greedy and wanted all of Ava's time and attention. Especially now that he knew that there were other boys interested in her, hearing what his mother said, he just now realized what he had been doing.
