"I'm sorry." Flynn whispered, not minding their nakedness and hugged her close to his chest and kissing her hair.

She took a deep breath. "I didn't think it would be necessary."

He kissed her hair. "I'm just surprised. Most teenagers engage in sexual activities as early as fourteen."

"About meeting your parents." He answered.

She thought he was teasing her again. "Stop teasing me."

"I'm serious, August. I want to meet them. If you don't like people seeing us in public because I'm your professor, let me at least meet your parents, the people who matter to you most."

“That’s… I'm not sure if they'll be okay with it. And how would I explain it?”

"We're not going to lie to them. Tell them I'm your professor and I'm going to tell them that I'm interested with their daughter."
