THIS IS CRAZY. MY STOMACH is churning so hard I can barely keep down any of the food. I don’t even taste the wine. These are my parents. So why the hell am I so nervous?

I know exactly why. Because my parents aren’t like a normal family. Sure, they’ll make small talk, ask all the right things, make the effort required but behind the scenes they’ll be tucking away every nugget of information, storing every little thing Nancy says and does.

I’ve seen it before. With work colleagues, social acquaintances. Even my friends when I was younger. For my family, it’s all about power. Well, for my dad at least. Everything in his world has been carefully orchestrated to achieve maximum reward in his career. Anything he decides doesn’t fit; he destroys. Ruthlessly.

And that’s why I’m worried.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t give a shit what they think. If they disapprove of Nancy, that’s their fucking problem. It will make exactly zero difference to how I feel about her.

No, what really worries me is that they’ll scare her off. My parents are full-on. Intimidating. Used to getting what they want.

And yet it all seems to be going well. Nancy and my dad are deep in discussion about the works of Christopher Marlowe. Nancy’s eyes are bright and her cheeks a little flushed. She gets like this whenever she talks about literature: all impassioned and breathless. I love it. Sweet Jesus, just the sight of her sends my pulse racing. Look at her: beautiful, passionate, intelligent, charming. Who wouldn’t fall for her? My parents are helpless before her charms, just like I was.

I sit back in my chair and let the tension drain from my shoulders. Yep, I was stupid to worry. Everything is going to be just fine.
