"You are the best boyfriend in the world," Spencer says, going on her tip toes and kissing him.

The door creaks open, and Peter and Veronica step outside.

"Spencer Jill Hastings, what the hell are you doing!?" Peter screams.

Chapter 7

Her body trembles as she pulls away from Toby.

"Dad, Mom," Spencer says weakly.

"There's something we have to tell you," Toby says, stepping up.

"Damn right there is," Peter says harshly. "Come inside. Both of you. We need to talk. Now."

It's best not to argue.

They follow the Hastings parents inside of the house.

"What the hell is this?" Peter demands as soon as they all sit down. "Why are you lying to us? Why did we find you kissing outside of the house? This is unacceptable behavior, Spencer!"

"Mr. Hastings, Spencer and I have been seeing each other for a while," Toby explains calmly, trying not to sound nervous.

"Well, I figured that out," Peter says, rolling his eyes. "Is that where she's been sneaking off to? There was never a sleepover at Hanna's house or Emily's house. There was a sleepover with a boy!"

"That is not true!" Spencer denies. "On Friday night, I was really with Emily, and you can call her."

"I know damn well that you've spent the night with this boy before, so don't even try to deny it," Peter says, squinting his eyes. "I am flabbergasted with you, Spencer."

"I know you don't approve of this, Dad, but I do," Spencer says quietly. "Isn't my life supposed to be about my choices? And this is a choice I have made."

"You don't have that power, Spencer!" Peter yells.

"Peter, calm down," Veronica says, sighing. "Say what you need to say calmly."

"Mr. Hastings," Toby says, standing up, "I love your daughter."

"What?" Peter chokes.

"I love your daughter," Toby says again, even more confidently. "I'm in love with your daughter."
