Falling Under
“The open mic night ended hours ago, and I’m fighting the urge to worry, to get angry. She doesn’t have a set curfew, since there’s never been a need. She’s a responsible kid usually. My brain is whirling, worrying me with possible scenarios. They got in an accident. They’re off doing drugs. They’re having sex. Not knowing what she’s doing is making me crazy, and not knowing what I’m supposed to do when she gets back is making me crazier. Should I just trust her? Should I interrogate her? Demand the truth? Ground her? Forbid her from seeing him? I know none of those will work. She’s about to turn eighteen. We’ve always tried to give Kylie as much freedom as we could, and she’s always been responsible. She’s never had a serious boyfriend, and she’s only been on a few dates. And now this Oz character shows up out of the blue, and she’s suddenly with him all the time. And he’s everything a father worries about for his daughter. He’s me, in so many ways, and I wouldn’t have wanted to be ...the father of the girls I dated as a young man.MoreLess
