Nathan meets me on the sidewalk on the next block after sneaking out of the house. “Hey, I got it.” I sigh with relief. “Your mom didn’t notice anything. Does she have an accent? I overheard her talking on the phone and it peeks through. I didn’t hear it when we were talking earlier.”

We head on the walk to for Scott’s house six blocks over. “Yeah, she does. She’s Australian. She moved to America after she met my dad. Because she dislikes her past so much, she hides her accent. I think she believes doing so erases her history and helps her forget about her family. They disowned her for dating my dad, frowned on mixing races.”

“Your dad is from Virginia, right?”

“Born and raised.”

“Humph. I’m the first guy you’ve ever introduced to your mom as your boyfriend?”

My cheeks burn. “I don’t introduce my parents to my boyfriends. I haven’t cared much about her meeting them, especially if I wasn’t sure they’d stick around. No one’s been worth wasting their time.”

“So,” he sings, “you met my family, and I met your mom. I think we can make this thing official so the next time you’re introducing me and what I am to you, you won’t be unsure about it.”

“Us meeting each other’s family is what makes us official? What about the whole having sex part?”

“Hey!” He defensively throws up his hands. “You’re the one who’s uncertain. I know what you are to me.”

“What’s that?”

Draping his arm over my shoulder, he casually informs, “You’re my mate, my lady, my heart, and my future wife.” He double steps. “No confusion here.” This is free-and-relaxed Nathan, light voice and not as intense. This side of him makes me so comfortable, like he’s normal. I love this side of him.

“Clearly,” I murmur. “But I wasn’t confused. I didn’t know how to introduce you to her. Like I said, I’ve never done it before, and I didn’t know how she’d react.”

“She was cool about it. Not a hair out of place. I think she likes me.”

“She might. I think she thinks you’re cute.”

“Do you think I’m cute?”

“I think cute is an understatement. When God made you, he was breaking all the limitation rules.”

Humor gone serious, he asks, “You think God made me?”

“Of course.” I shrug. “Who else?”

“Well,” he drags, “I am half demon and all.”

“It’s not what you’re made of, it’s what you make of yourself. We are not who we are because of where we come from or what people make us out to be, but because of what we want to be. You may have the misfortune of a demon within you, but you know that and you don’t let it consume you, and you’ve bettered yourself. This means you’re made up of God and you’re not made by a demon. Or . . . you know.”

He doesn’t respond. I grab his hand hanging over my shoulder and lock our fingers, then let the silence have its way.

I’m stoked Dad is coming home, but I can’t imagine what it is they’ll want to talk about.
