"About that dinner..."

"Yeah?"

"We could do it tonight if your parents would allow."

"I thought you'd never ask."

"Derrick looks better than he did two weeks ago. Did you keep the picture attached recordings?"

"Definitely but he's your responsibility from now on."

"Mind you, you're the father here."

"Mind you darling wife, your son has overstayed his welcome."

"How is that even possible? You're his father!"

"Don't make me."

"Make you do what, pigeon?"

"..."

"Wh-Put me down!"

"Say you're sorry."

"Put me down right now!"

"We could stay here for hours and hours."

"Just put me down, you jerk!"

"It would be way easier if you could just say it."

"Put me down and I swear I'll say it."

"I don't trust you."

"Pleaseeeeeeeee."

"Fine but you run away? Tickle time."

"I'm sorry."

"That's better. So how did it go?"

"I really don't want to talk about it."

"Come on, it won't hurt."

"It was a pretty brief conversation."

"Which included?"

"It's true that he does like me. He told me he wanted to be more than friends."

"So."

"He asked me out."

"And what did you say?"

"I said yes."

"......oh."

"Yeah."

"So are you going start drifting from me now?"

"No, absolutely not. You're my best friend."

"Promise?"

"I promise, Romeo."
