CHAPTER FIFTEEN

15

I leave Grant’s apartment with plans for a third date at the art museum. I can’t imagine he’d be expecting anything on that third date. We’ve only kissed and held hands. Besides, Grant doesn’t seem like someone who follows the third-date rule. Maybe it’s just for the guys Kayla dates. And if he does expect it, and tries something, I’ll turn him down. I’m not ready for that yet.

On Saturday I plan to spend the day cleaning my apartment, but then my dad calls at 9 in the morning and asks me to pick up more of my stuff from the house. I have no room for it in my apartment, but I go over there anyway and agree to take a few boxes back.

When I get to the house, I find him packing up the kitchen. “Morgan.” He gives me a hug. “You know I only used this as an excuse to see you. You’ve been gone a whole week.”

“Dad, you’re moving to Texas. Pretty soon you’ll only see me a few times a year.”

He frowns. “I know. I didn’t think this place would sell so quickly. I’m gonna miss my little girl.” He hugs me again.

“I’m not a little girl, Dad.”

“I’m still going to miss you.” He lets me go. “Do you want some coffee? I just made a fresh pot.”

“I could use some coffee. I’m still wiped out from that trip.”

He pours us each a cup and we sit down at the kitchen table. “So how did it go? Did you learn all about cereal, or bread, or what was it about again?”

“Whole grains. It wouldn’t interest you. And I don’t want to talk about work.”

“Did you do anything fun while you were there? Meet any new people?”

“I ran into a guy I went to school with. Brad Fletcher. He was older than me. You wouldn’t know him.”

I think of Brad’s story about when he was 14 and my dad took him into our garage and told him I was too young to date. I’m sure my dad doesn’t remember that.

“Of course I know Brad.” My dad sips his coffee. “I worked with Bruce, his father. And Brad was a real star on the football team.”

“How do you know that?”

“I followed your high school’s sports, Morgan, even if you didn’t.”

“How well did you know Brad’s dad?”

“We did some projects together at work so I got to know him pretty well over the years. He talked about Brad all the time. They were very close. It was such a shock when Bruce passed away last year. I went to his funeral. It was huge.”

“You did?” I remember my dad going to a funeral last year for a guy at work but I had no idea the funeral was for Brad’s father.

“Brad gave a very touching speech at the funeral. The whole place was in tears. What’s he up to now? Last I heard he was going to school in Chicago.”

“Yeah. He got his MBA last spring. He’s been interning for a company in Chicago but he just got a job in Portland.
