She stared at him, stunned, convinced she’d misheard.
“Who did you say we’re going to meet?” Her heartbeat went wild.
“My mom and dad,” Dunn replied, still smiling.
Margo struggled to keep her expression under control. She stood there speechless for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and turned to him in panic. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What… what am I supposed to do p>
She’d met Dunn’s mother before, and she’d always been terrified of leaving a bad impression. And she certainly hadn’t expected to meet both of his parents when they’d only been together for three months.
“Dunn…” Margo’s voice trembled. She looked down at the hand holding hers and whispered, “Can we not go? I don’t think I’m ready p>
“Margo.” Dunn stepped closer, steadying her by the shoulders and turning her to face him. “What are you so anxious about p>

“Why do you always blame yourself for everything?” he murmured. “You’re innocent. You’ve done nothing wrong p>

“It hurts to see you like this,” he continued. “Did I do something wrong? Something that made you hesitate, made you afraid—made you want to pull away p>
Margo quickly covered his mouth with her hand. “You’ve done everything right,” she said softly. “It’s just that… I haven’t thought about these things. I wasn’t prepared to face them p>
“I’m sorry,” Dunn said, guilt flickering across his expression. “I was too impulsive p>
He lowered his head and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.
“But you still have to meet my parents today p>
The words carried a hint of uncertainty, yet there was an unmistakable condition beneath them.
“I have to?” Margo stared up at him, floored. “Why p>
“There’s a big party tonight,” Dunn said seriously. “And I’m taking you with me p>
“What party?” Margo drew a sharp breath, suddenly wondering if it was a private Hopkins family gathering.
