Talks (Danny, Val)

[daniel_marlow]

When Danny walked through the door on Thursday afternoon, he was carrying a large chocolate muffin in his hands. "Mum!" he called out to her, hoping she was actually home. He really wanted to talk to her, and the muffin was apparently to soften her up. He didn't really know why it was necessary, but he had gotten it anyway. He planned to hide behind it a little bit.

"Mum, can you meet me in the dining room?" he called out and then he went to grab a glass of water before taking a seat.

"I know!" he cried out, sounding like a normal, put-out teenager for a moment. "I promise. It's just- She's so pretty and nice and I don't know what to do because the boys at school all talk about girls and sex like they aren't separate. But I don't- I mean- I'm not ready for- Not yet. And I don't want her to hate me."
