My daughter picked the restaurant where we’d be meeting for lunch. Katharine was planning to meet us there. I decided to walk; it was only fifteen blocks, and I needed to get rid of my nervous energy. I knew Sara would love Katharine—she was amazing. I was just nervous because my daughter was such a spitfire. She always said what she felt; it was impossible for her to hold back. It could be endearing; it could also be annoying as hell. If nothing else, it was genuine and honest. She had always been the more precocious child between my girls, and I knew she would let me know exactly how she felt about my new girlfriend.

Sara arrived at the same time as I did. As usual, she wanted to go for sushi. It was her favorite food, and she liked it when I paid the check; it was an expensive addiction. Katharine hadn’t arrived yet, so we got a table, and I sent her a message to tell her we were sitting down. As soon as we sat down and waters were placed in front of us, Katharine approached the table. I jumped out of my seat to greet her. My smile must have been infectious, because she smiled back at me and leaned in for a kiss. We rarely saw each other during the day, so this was a treat. I turned toward my daughter to start the introductions when she said, “Jeez, you guys got it bad! Get a room already.”

Katharine laughed and reached out to shake Sara’s hand. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. And yes, I can only speak for myself, but I’ve got it real bad.”

“That makes two of us,” I had to add.

The lunch went better than I could have imagined. The girls chatted happily—I didn’t even need to be there. Sara noticed Katharine’s designer shoes, and they had a conversation about fashion that I thought would never end. Katharine told Sara that she had a friend in Paris who was able to get her designer clothes, shoes, and purses at a wholesale price. She offered to show Sara the items that were available for purchase the next time she got an e-mail from her friend. Sara was ecstatic.

Katharine asked her about her classes and what her plans were for the future. She told Katharine she didn’t want to be a boring attorney like her sister. I cleared my throat, and Sara burst out laughing then apologized profusely.

“That’s OK, Sara. Most attorneys are pretty boring,” Katharine said kindly. It was obvious she was amused by my daughter’s candor. Although my daughter was bright, her personality was quirky and often flippant. I loved her familiar and easy-going demeanor, but it took some people a little time to warm up to her. I was happy to see that Katharine wasn’t offended by my daughter’s behavior and was, in fact, enjoying their exchange.

“I didn’t mean to insult you, Katharine. You don’t seem boring at all. In fact, you’re way cooler than I thought you’d be.
