The next day got colder than ever. So much that even if I don't want to, I'm forced to put on a sweater. Winter is nearing and so are the holidays.
Dad's already buying decorations for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"Do you have any Thanksgiving plans?" I ask Castle, sipping my hot chocolate.
He shrugs. "Usually I just make something special, and Mom and I have it for dinner."
"You're invited to our Thanksgiving dinner then," I say, which I really didn't have to. He's always invited. I'm surprised Dad didn't already make him his own key to our house.
Castle and I are in the living room, playing video games while sipping hot chocolates. These video games are starting to bore me but Castle's still at the beginner level where he thinks these games are his life. Whenever he comes over, he wants to play at least one round first.
We're quiet for a while before Castle quietly murmurs to me.
"When are we going to tell your dad?"
"About?"
He looks between me and him. "Us. What else?"
"Oh," I think it over. "I don't really know...probably when there are less chances of him being dramatic."
He looks nervous when he blurts out the question. "Will he hate me?"
I set my game console down, frowning at him. "Why would he hate you?"
He bites his lips. "Because I'm dating you behind his back."
I roll my eyes. "First of all, we're both dating each other. If my dad wants to hate, then he has to hate both of us."
"But you're his daughter."
"And he sees you as a son."
He opens his mouth but closes it, slowly nodding as if he understands. A worried frown splits his face. "But still...I don't want him to get mad at me or something."
"Relax, Castle. If he finds out then his first assumption will be that I hypnotized and trapped you with me."
Honestly, if we had had this conversation before Dad and Castle bonded, I would've been worried too. But now, I'm not so much. Dad really likes Castle, and I don't think anyone can change that.
It's been two weeks since I beat up Nathaniel along with the rest. Denys has been keeping in contact where he tells me what's going on.
Clarice full-blown panicked and demanded to go to the police, but Nathaniel had to stop her. He's afraid that the police might trace him back to his drinking problem and how he abused his family. Apparently, he stole a lot too and has bad relationships with a lot of people. I honestly should've tipped the police myself saying that there was a fire in the neighbourhood.
