"You Got a boyfriend?" My dad asked. We were at the pizza shop we used to go to all the time when I was younger.

"No." I Said biting my slice. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"What? I Don't" I said

"I was thinking we could go to the mall and You Can max out my credit card" he said Laughing.

"If You Think material things are gonna make me feel better, You Can forget about it" I told him. He looked up for a second and nodded.
