“I have got to meet this woman,” Lee said.
The others nodded.
“So are you still dating her?” Colin asked.
“Yeah. She’s one of a kind.”
Lee nudged Garth. “He’s got it bad.”
“He sure does.”
“Got what?” David asked.
“The lurve bug,” Lee told him. “Your face went all sappy just now.”
David frowned. It was too soon to consider love.
“What does your father think about that?” Colin asked.
“He doesn’t know I’m dating her. I haven’t introduced them yet.”
“Good idea,” Lee said. “Get the ring on her finger before she meets your family.”
“Hold up there.” David’s heart raced as he backed up. “No one’s talking about rings. Besides, she’s already met Dad.”
“Give it up, guys,” Garth said. “They’ll be fine. Let’s get back to playing cards.”
David shot his friend a grateful glance.
His heart told him they would be fine, but after what Colin had said, his head wasn’t so sure. Perhaps it was time to introduce Zita to his family, if only to prove them wrong. He was sure his mother would like Zita, and Bob would forgive her for the bigot comment as soon as he spoke with her.
David would arrange something soon.
