Everyone Needs a Dad-friend

"You weren't kidding when you told me you like to over-complicate situations. Just take this one date at a time. And if you fall head over heels madly in love then find out if he does too. Maybe you'll be inspired and move to the UK with him."

"No," I say finally, "I cannot possibly move to the UK. The way their government is set up terrifies me."
