Henry: fidgeting with his hands S-Sam said he d-didn't want me here. I-I don't know wh-what to do.
"Who are you? Mom said she has never seen you before. Are you a new bodyguard?" I look at him from head to toe, sizing him up
Henry: stuttering N-No, I-I mean... well, I'm Henry Thompson. Y-Your mom, umm, she invited me over for dinner tonight. I-I brought a bottle of wine.
"Dinner? Dad never brings us anything special. Wait a minute, Mom did say she invited someone over. Dad, who's he?" I look at macy's dad who has the most shocked look on his face
stutters I-I... I-I hope this isn't some kind of joke. This is very embarrassing for me. I-I mean, your father knows me, right? He invited me here himself, right?
"Well, I don't think so dad, who is he?" I look at the man with pure confusion at this point
Henry: exclaims I-I'm Henry Thompson! I studied abroad in Paris for a year during college. I was a promising young executive. I even have a few rare books that you probably haven't read yet.
I look at him "So? You still haven't answered the question of who you are. What are you doing here?"
Henry: takes a deep breath, stutters I-I mean, I'm your father's business partner, of course. I came here to discuss our latest project.
"Really dad? You have never spoken about having a business partner in Paris let alone having someone come over."
stutters Well, umm... you see, your father and I were supposed to meet earlier at the office, but he sent me a text saying he couldn't make it.
"Dad, what is he talking about?"
Henry: starts stuttering nervously W-well you see, your father and I h-had an argument earlier today, so he might not be answering his phone.
"Oh" I look down, looking bored at the whole situation
Henry: takes a deep breath Look, I know this is awkward, but I think we can make the best of this situation. How about we go for a walk or watch a movie together?
"You can do that with your business partner? Didn't you say he wasn't coming because he was arguing with you?"
Henry: smiles Yeah, but maybe this will be a chance for us to clear the air and work things out. Besides, it's always more fun to have someone else to share an experience with.
"Umm, okay sure. Dad, I am going for a walk with Henry. Don't worry I'll stay in sight." I look at my dad who is still in shock by the whole situation
Henry: grinning Great! Let's go for a walk then. I know this great little park nearby with a beautiful garden. You'll love it. And don't worry, I promise to keep you safe.
"Okay cool." I smile and start walking ahead
Henry: starts walking behind micy So, uh, macy, what do you like to do for fun? I mean, apart from arguing with your dad, of course.
"Well I like to read and play video games. I like building things too, I am currently building a computer." I turn around smiling at him
Henry: nervously adjusts his tie R-reading and video games, huh? That sounds... interesting. I've always been more of a movie guy myself.
"Oh, dad loves movies too. He has a big collection of them."
Henry: smirks Oh really? Does he have any classic films? I happen to be a huge fan of old movies.
"Yeah he does, he even has the whole series of Harry Potter and Star Wars."
pauses, thinking H-Harry Potter and Star Wars?! That's incredible! I love both of those franchises.
"Yeah dad loves those too. He even has a Hogwarts uniform and a Darth Vader costume."
nervously rubs the back of his neck W-Well, maybe we could watch one of those films together sometime. I'd love to discuss them with someone who appreciates them as much as I do.
"Sure, we should go home then so we can watch a movie together." I look at him
Henry: smiling Great idea! I'll drive us back home. Just follow me, and I'll take care of everything.
"Okay cool, thanks." I start walking behind him
Henry leads micy back to his car, opening the door for her with a flourish After you, princess.
"Thanks, dad." I smile at him
Henry starts the car and begins driving back to macy's house, stealing glances at her through the rearview mirror So, macy, tell me more about yourself.
"Well I am a girl that likes to argue with my dad, and I am currently in school." I look at him with a smile
Henry: nervously adjusts his glasses W-well, that's quite an interesting personality you have. A girl who enjoys arguing with her dad, huh? Sounds like you'll keep me on my toes.
"Well yeah, dad can be a bit annoying sometimes."
nervously chuckles Ah, tell me about it! I've met my fair share of annoying dads. But hey, that's what makes life interesting, right?
"Yeah I guess so." I look out the window
Henry: smiling nervously So, macy, what do you like to do when you're not arguing with your dad or reading books or playing video games? Do you have any hobbies or interests that you're passionate about?
"Well I like to build things, I am currently building a computer."
nervously strokes his mustache Building computers, huh? That sounds pretty cool. I've never met anyone who builds their own computers before. Maybe you can give me some tips someday.
"Sure, I'd be happy to help you."
nervously chuckles G-g-good! I'm always up for learning new things. And who knows, maybe one day I'll even build my own computer.
