“Nate is finally going to Sacramento with you?” I hear Halley’s shocked voice in my ear, as I flounder around my bathroom, getting ready.

My body is on edge with anticipation of how tonight is going to go. Nate will meet my family for the first time, and I don’t know how he’s going to react. I’m not worried about my family, but more about Nathan. He’s so closed off and secretive about his own family that I can’t gauge what this will mean for him.

“Yes—finally!” I proclaim triumphantly.

“Wow. I can’t believe he’s actually going this time.”

“Well, he did tell me that the next time he wouldn’t let me go alone, and definitely not in the Honda. Though, I didn’t believe he would seriously follow through with it. At the time, I could only hope that he was serious.” I put the phone on speaker, so I can put the finishing touches of my makeup on and double-check my hair.

“Charlie, don’t be so surprised that he would want to meet your family. You must know by now he has feelings for you, and only you. By heavens, he can’t even take his eyes off you when we’re all out somewhere. He’s got it bad for you, in a good way. Why do you still question it?” She chides me.

“Halls, what would you think? He hasn’t even brought me home to meet his family, let alone talk about them at all. I barely know anything, and it’s been months! I feel like he’s hiding behind our friends and good times, to safeguard his heart. Have you noticed we haven’t had a lot of one-on-one time?” I point out, feeling irritated with her.

She doesn’t say anything for a few moments, so I decide to speak up. I’m trying not to ruin my day with this heavy anvil I carry around with me constantly. “Anyway, I don’t want to overthink it right now. I just want to focus on the positive. He’s coming with me, and it’s a giant step for him. So, I’m determined that all will go off without a hitch!”

“I’m sure whatever is lurking behind his barriers will come out soon. You just need to be patient. He’s happy, and from what Holt says, it’s been a long time since he’s been like this. That means something, Charlie. Don’t make it less than what it is. It’s good, so let’s keep the streak going.”

All of the fiery heat I was building up with this conversation goes right out of me at that. “Right,” I quietly admit. “He should be here soon, and I need to finish up with my hair. I’ll call you later, or tomorrow, depending on when we get back tonight.”

“Sounds good, Charlie. Have fun. Tell your family ‘hi’ for me. Maybe next time, Naomi and I will get an invite to the family table.” She pushes with no subtlety whatsoever.

“I’ll pass the word along, Halls. Why don’t you go out to dinner with Holt?” I try to bring the man issues back around her way.
