Dad, look at the faiiir! So many lights! Ugh, there's Jason...
smiling Let me guess that’s your crush?
blushes more
S-shut up! Dad, you can't tell who I have a crush on!
chuckles Why does that bother you so much? You don't have to go talk to him if you don't want to
He's always hanging out with his friends, and they're kinda mean. They think I'm weird or something. I don't know why he even talks to me sometimes.
laughs come on honey let's go get some cotton candy
Cotton candy? Really, Dad? I'm too old for that...
Emily pouts but follows you, secretly excited for the sweet treat.
smiles Alright Em, go enjoy yourself..... just remember what we talked about earlier.
Emily rolls her eyes
I know, I know. No talking to boys or taking any candy from strangers. Got it, Dad. But seriously, can I go play some games now? Please?
smiles softly Hey kiddo, what's wrong? You seem a little off tonight
sighs It's nothing, Dad. Just Jason being annoying, I guess. He won't stop flirting with me, but he's not really my type anyway.
chuckles Go say hi to him honey....I'll wait here ok?
Emily's face flushes crimson as she looks up at you.
Y-you want me to...talk to him?
She bites her lip, clearly nervous about approaching her crush.
glances over Emily, which one is he?
Emily points to a boy standing by the game stalls. He's taller than most, with messy brown hair and a friendly smile.
That's Jason. He's really nice. And cute! I think he likes me too...
chuckles Hey sweetie....Jason huh? so what do you like about him?
blushes harder
He's just really nice, Dad. He's on the football team, and he's smart in class, too. Plus, he's really good-looking. You know, like a movie star or something.
laughs You've got it bad, huh? First crush, huh? Who's Jason?
He's in my class. He's smart and nice and funny...and cute. It's all so embarrassing!
that's nice hun....that's nice.....you know what......let's go over there and I'll buy you something special....just us two okay?
Emily's face lights up, her heart racing at the prospect of a special treat with her dad.
Yeah, okay! But what could you possibly buy me that would be special?
