I’m not the kind of guy to take home to the folks.” Alice couldn’t help but laugh at Jack. She had never seen him so nervous. The mention of meeting her dad made him shake in his boots, and though she didn’t fully understand how he felt, she could relate to being nervous about meeting the parents. She had her doubts about his mother, but at the same time, couldn’t wait to be formally introduced. “What makes you think you’re that kind of guy?” “Look at me, Alice. Daddies want the best for their girls. He wants to know you’ll be taken care of. You know, banker types, lawyers, white collar dudes.” Alice ran her hand down the front of his shirt. “Who says you’re not the best for me? And what about your mother? Mother’s always have a hard time cutting the cord with their little boys. Am I good enough for her? You’re her only son. That makes it twice as hard for me to prove myself.”
