"What is my destiny?"
"You're getting closer to finding out," she said. "Okay, I know what class he is supposed to be in right now." She looked at her watch. "I know where he goes next. You'll just be there waiting and catch his eye. I don't think you'll have any trouble doing that, do you?"
"No, but—"
"Take him somewhere to talk. Make it seem as though everything is fine, and you will be able to keep seeing him once he meets your father. I'll watch from a safe distance to be sure it all goes well."
"But what if he wants to go somewhere now to spend the rest of the day with me? What do I say?"
"Simple, Lorelei. I don't know why these lies don't come naturally to you. You say you took advantage of an opportunity to come here with me. I had to do something that would take an hour, and then you have to return home with me. You'll see him Saturday night. The more he waits, the more excited he'll be about your date, and the more vulnerable he'll be."
