Shocked

Theme 68: Dinner

Jane's POV

When Buster brought Kate back from the museum, I offered him some dinner. He accepted, joining us at the table. I eyed him carefully. He seemed to be doing something under the table-

He was holding hands with my daughter.

"What's going on here?" I demanded.

"Mom, Buster and I are a couple now," Kate said. Confident, no joking.

I nearly fainted. David spilled his drink and left the room.

"I don't know what to say. Aren't you too young-?"

"She's 18, otherwise I'd have said no," Buster said.

So my daughter was dating a twenty-six year old.

I was too stunned to say another word.
