“Remember
the rules,” her dad said. “No drinking, smoking, or illegal drugs. Curfew is
midnight and…there’s one other thing.” He tapped his finger on his chin as if
thinking. “Ah yes, don’t get my daughter pregnant.” And then he smiled and
promptly shut the door in their shocked faces.
“Dad!”
Harper screeched and she could hear him and her mother cackling on the other
side of the door. “Oh, my God! I could die from embarrassment.”
Liam
snorted out a laugh and scratched his forehead with his thumbnail. If one could
actually die from embarrassment, Harper would certainly do so.
“Well,
there goes that plan,” Liam said in mock seriousness.
Then
the door flew open and her father stood there with flared nostrils and his
chest puffed out.
“I
kidding, sir. I swear.” Liam held his hands up in surrender, but he couldn’t
stop laughing.
His
laugher caused Harper to giggle which led to her father rolling his eyes and
letting out a little laugh of his own.
That was funny. Seriously, her father was asking for the joke.
