Since they were all starting school the next week, her family decided to go to The Little America for brunch on Sunday. (Ha, Sunday Brunch with the family - so sophisticated).
She was looking for a good opportunity to casually mention that they decided they were dating and going to do long distance.
Do I just throw it in there? Like this, "I am so excited to eat! We decided we are going to date and do long distance for the next year of our lives. I think I will eat the crepes first!" OR do I wait for it to come up...?
"So what's up with you guys?" her dad asked casually.
Guess that answers that question...
"So...." Just say it! Just say it! "....yeah"
She looked at one of her little sisters in the backseat since she had told her yesterday. Her sister shrugged her shoulders...
"Well yeah, so....we are dating." She cringed waiting for the reaction.
"WHAT?! WHY?! You don't even know him!"
Well this is going pretty much how I expected. That's comforting.
"Yeah...so mmhmmm."
Her siblings piped up with, "It's not that big of a deal" and "I'm pretty sure they've spent enough time together in the last two days that they have some idea." She was so thankful she didn't have to go up against them.
They discussed it for a few minutes more and then got to the restaurant. As they sat down, her mother said to her, "You know were are just giving you a hard time. We don't really care one way or another."
That was a great sign...
