I didn’t...want to let the parents know I’d seen them, which was kind of dumb since they weren’t trying to hide any more than we were.Ruth put her hand on David’s thigh and moved it all the way up.“Our folks, all of them, are good friends, really good friends, my mom told us,” she answered.We’d get to that, but all I wanted to know right now was what she and David had.
