“And what else did he do when he said that?”
“He kind of came closer to me and was leaning his body into me.”
“Ah,” he said, smiling. “And did you feel anything when he leaned his body into you?”
“Disgust.” I rolled my eyes.
“But did you feel anything else?”
“What else was I supposed to feel?” I said, shaking my head.
“I don’t know. Did he smell a particular way, or look a particular way, or—”
“No, I’m glad I didn’t smell him,” I said, shuddering slightly. “He would smell like cheddar cheese, I bet.”
“What?” he said, frowning.
“Because he looks like he would smell cheesy. Like, don’t older people smell cheesy?”
“I wouldn’t know,” Finn said. “I think we’re here,” he said as he pulled up outside my parents’ house.
“Wait, what? How did you know this was my parents’ house?” I asked.
“Because your sisters are there.” He nodded toward the front door, and I turned my head to see Polly and Chelsea waiting for us to get out of the car.
“Oh, yeah. I guess they made it before us.” He parked the car, and we got out, and I looked over at him. “Let me do the talking, okay, Finn? I want to break this to my parents gently.”
“Okay,” he said. “You tell them whatever you want to tell them.”
“I’m not going to tell them much, so don’t expect me to be giving all my secrets.”
“Oh, I would never expect that,” he laughed. “I am excited to meet them, though.”
“Yeah, me too.”
“And maybe you can show me your childhood bedroom, as well.” He waggled his eyebrows.
“Um, why?”
“Why do you think?” he said, winking, and my face went bright red.
“Oh my gosh, Finn. Really?”
“Oh, yeah,” he said. “I bet you’re still a little sore there right now, huh?”

“This is such a beautiful house,” Finn said as he looked around at my parents’ craftsman-style house.
It was, as he said, quite beautiful, even if it was slightly old.
“Your mother is quite the planter,” he said as he looked at the beautiful flowers and trees at the front of the yard.
