What? — Cindy Dunne looked at her daughter in disbelief. —You and George Michael are together? How did this happen?

—Normal — Danielle sighed. She sat in the living room with her parents and told them that she and George were in a relationship.

—How long has this been going on?— Cindy clasped her hands together nervously. — From the moment you got here?

Let's say — Danielle said calmly. —We were dating until we finally decided we were officially a couple.

—He's gay — Cindy frowned. — I'm not a homophobe, but he has been declaring his preference for men for years. Why did he suddenly want a relationship with a woman? It is suspicious...

—Maybe he just discovered that we are soul mates and need each other? Some things just come by themselves, mom.

—He's older than you — Dustin said. —Older than us. Besides, he is a controversial celebrity. Do you realize that you will be in the candlestick now? God, we will. After all, the media will quickly determine who your family is.

Danielle pursed her lips and Cindy turned pale.

—I didn't think that — Cindy whispered. —Dani, this is too much for us. Can you imagine what will happen when everyone finds out that our daughter is with George Michael? We will have no peace.

—Such a price of fame — Dustin interjected sarcastically. —So you'd rather lose your privacy and your peace to a troubled star? Dani, do you know what you are doing? I think he's looking for companionship and a babysitter. Have you seen his photos? He's a big guy, looks like Elvis in his last year of life.

The words hit Danielle in the face. She got up and hissed:

—Don't you dare to suggest such messages, Dad. George is well and will live a long life. He asked for help, which Elvis never did. George doesn't pretend to be okay when it isn't. He is responsible.

Responsible — Dustin snorted. —He's been addicted to drugs for years and emotionally unstable. I don't want you to get into all of this. He'll get you into drugs yet!

—What are you ... — Danielle frowned. —You judge people so easily. Emiliano was also supposed to be the wrong type and what turned out? He was the most wonderful man on earth. George is a beautiful person, but you see what people want to see - the worse side of him.

She left the living room, slamming the door. As she entered her room, she looked at the three suitcases packed.

Dante had the day off and took Hallie for a walk in the park, which gave her time to talk to her parents.

She sat up in bed and grabbed her hair. She guessed there might be problems with her parents, but she would survive it. She pulled out her phone and dialed Yog contact.

He picked up almost immediately:

— Hello, Dani? Did you talk to them?

— Yes, they have their comments, like parents do — she rolled her eyes. —Look, Dante will be back with Hallie in an hour. Can David come pick me up at this time?

—Of course — George said, pleased. —You're packed, are you?

—Sure — Danielle smiled. —Are you sure you want me to move in with the toddler?

—Yes — George's voice was firm. —Darling, you make me the happiest man in the world.—— See you later then.

— You'll be mine only today.
