He had been worried about his son's sexuality due to his feminine appearance, but this confirmed that it was a needless concern."Does she go to your s...hool?" Dad asked."No, she's a college student," Marc responded."OK then. But no more lies about going running. Just leave a note that you'll be back later," Dad stated."I will," Marc responded as he started to relax."And you don't have to leave early in the morning. You can go out later as long as you're home before midnight. Just do a better job. "Come on, I told you mine." Frances," I muttered softly.Adam snorted with laughter. "We're quite the pair, huh?"
