"How are you, sir?" I shake the hand of Scarlett's father.
I should probably explain. Scarlett is my girlfriend, and has been for about two months. She finally requested that i meet her father, after a few texts from him on her phone.They went something like this.

So yeah we were having an awkward meeting. I insisted that we ate nothing, as I was VERY afraid of her dad. He walked into the kitchen and told us to sit. We did. Scarlett started talking about family. I didn't pay attention, mainly because her father was sharpening knives. BIG knives. I kept my face calm though.
Her father started talking to me, and surprisingly, we got along pretty well. Scarlett got up to use the bathroom. While she was gone, her father looked me straight in the eye. "I'm just going to let you know, If ANYONE ever tries to hurt my daughter, i am not above murder."
" In that, sir, we agree on."
As Scarlett and I left for the movies, he pulled her to the side and said "He'll do."
