“I know it's scary," she began. “I get it. You're nervous because you don't know your dad but that's the point. I really think it would be good for you and him to get to know each other. You're not a child anymore. You're a young man and a young man should have a relationship with his dad.”
Charlie could tell that she wanted him to say yes, to go. Yes, he was scared. Scared of the unknown but he felt more scared of messing things up with Tyler and going into High School with a bad summer behind him. Maybe it would be best for them to be apart for the summer. She might even miss him. Yes, he thought and then said aloud. “Yes, I'll spend the summer with dad.”
