The rest of the dinner conversation went by pleasantly. Dad seemed appropriately satisfied and impressed with him, but it was weird having them actually meet. Nate was tickled pink to have a guy friend, and everything just seemed to flow. Caleb and I kissed goodnight at the end of it and promised to see him again tomorrow.

As he was heading back towards the truck, Dad turned to me and smiled. “That’s a nice young man you’ve got there.”

“Thanks, I think he’s pretty great too.”

“He seems quite taken with you,” Dad pressed the subject further. “I hope you’re being smart and thinking about the bigger picture.”

I frowned, not sure where he was going with this. “What are you saying?”

“Well honey, you’ve just started school and living on your own — that’s an important time in a young person’s life. I just don’t want you to drop out or make any rash decisions when you could be using that time to better yourself and improve your education.”

“Dad! I have absolutely no intention of dropping out.”

He nodded thoughtfully as Nate and I shuffled behind him on the sidewalk. “You know I love ya, hon. I’ll support you no matter what, I just want to make sure you’re not getting swept away with things.”

I smiled. “Thanks, Dad, but Caleb isn’t pressuring me.” He looked like he was going to interrupt when I stopped him. “However, I appreciate your concern and see where you’re coming from. Right now, it’s still very new with Caleb, and we’re just enjoying being together. I’m not going to let that change my plan.”

“And what is your plan?”

I pursed my lips together and gave him a tight, and apparently unconvincing, smile.

“I see. Well, we love ya, hon. I just want you to be happy. Nate and I need to start heading back, we’ve got a long drive ahead.”

“I love you, Dad. I’ll see you at Thanksgiving.”
