Chapter 47

I’m nervous as I pull up to Boone’s house sitting in the passenger seat of Abel’s truck. This is the first time I’ve ever been to a boyfriend’s house for a holiday. I never had a boyfriend around the holidays in high school. In college, I had one long-term, but we didn’t introduce each other to our parents. I think it’s because we both knew it wasn’t a forever type of relationship. With Abel, it’s felt different from the beginning.

“Don’t get all nervous on me. You know everyone who’s going to be at this dinner.” Abel glances over. “I knew I should’ve invited you to a family dinner before I asked you to come to this.”
