“You’re the first date I’ve taken here.” Sophia frowned in confusion at my confession. “Why?” I shrugged. “No other places are open that serve excellent food and drinks at this time of night.

“ And you are not a dietician. So shut up.” “ But I deal with bodies.” “ So do I.” “ I am talking about healthy bodies.” “ They are healthy.” “ I want to be a pastry chef.” I announce in this all fuck up argument. They stopped fighting and looked at me. With wide eyes and strange expressions and I waited for their answer. “ You can be whatever you want.” Dad Nick smiled warmly. “ But don’t be a junkie okay. That’s gross.” Dad Mave piped in while sipping his version of wine.
