” Kyle looked at his father. “What are you saying?” “I am saying that there are rumors going on around town. People say that Katie has never ...ated. They think you're the father. I know you better than that, though. You need to meet a nice girl and form a relationship.” He nodded. “You're right, Dad. Well, I will see you guys later. I need to go pick up Katie.

I had a strong feeling she was going hunting as soon as she was back in school. She had always dated A-list guys, jocks, or ultra-rich and good-looking boys. Physically she could have been my twin.
