"Ocean, no!"
"Goddess no!" His parents started to speak at the same time. They seemed to be in agreement, whatever it was that they were saying. Still, I couldn't bring myself to look at them. I couldn't bring myself to watch as they glared at me with disgust.
"Ocean, honey, we're not upset at all." I heard Mrs. Rivers talking, but her words weren't getting through to me.
"I'm sorry that I made it sound like that." Mr. Rivers added. "I joke with my son a lot, that's all. It's a big thing between us. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. There is nothing wrong with you two being together. We've long known that our son didn't care one way or the other if the person he was with was male or female."
