"Meeting the parents?"
Why did he tense up the moment he heard those three words, with the air of an ugly bride about to meet her in-laws? "Isn't it too early?"
In his mind, meeting the parents was something you did only after getting married!
"Too early? Owen Hayes, dating without the intention of marriage is just playing the hooligan, and you... are not allowed to play the hooligan with me!"
Owen Hayes: "..."
From start to finish, the real hooligan here was you, Miss Gordon!
Well, a good man doesn't quarrel with a woman. Meeting the parents is no big deal, right? Besides, he was already of age, not a young love anymore. What's there to fear!
"As long as you're willing, what's the big deal about meeting parents? It's just the right time for Uncle Gordon to see what an upright young man I am!"
Owen Hayes patted his chest, his proclamation especially loud, especially the word "young", as if by emphasizing it, he was no longer a boy.
Chani Gordon: "..."
