"Just take deep breaths and try your hardest to listen to what he has to say," Olivia told me as we stood in the kitchen. "I know it's gonna be tough but just listen."

"I am terrified," I told her. It was almost time to meet my dad and sister at the restaurant we agreed on. No way was I inviting them to my house.

"I know," She nodded. "You can call me right after and tell me how it went. I'll come over. If you want."

"Or you could come with me," I suggested, hoping she'd agree.

"Austin, do you really think it would be appropriate for me to be there?" She asked me.

"It's not exactly appropriate for Jamie to just call me like nothing happened. I don't even know how he got my number," I huffed. "And it's certainly not appropriate for him to tell me I have a sister over the phone."

"I agree, but won't they feel weird with me there?" She asked and I shook my head.

"I don't care what they feel," I shrugged. "If they're gonna know me, they need to know you."

"I'll go with you if it will make you feel better," she finally said after a few seconds of silence. "But I'm not getting in the conversation. I'll sit to the side. That way you can look at me for comfort if it gets rough."

"Thank you," I said to her.

"We need to get going then," She smiled at me, grabbing her small purse off of the counter. I nodded and we walked out of the kitchen into the foyer.

Once we were outside, I locked the front door and walked towards the car. My stomach sank as my mind realized where we were going.

I don't know if there's even a word for how nervous I am.

"Listen, you're gonna do great," Olivia told me as we pulled up to the restaurant. She made it sound like an interview.

"Yeah," I let out a deep sigh. "We can only hope."

I turned the car off and got out of it, walking over to Olivia's side and opening her door. She thanked me and I handed the key fob to the valet.

We walked inside and I seen a man with salt and pepper hair sitting at the bar. I immediately knew it was him. I turned away before he could see me but Olivia stopped me.
