McKenzie sat there not knowing what else to say. Interviewing the
janitor for the school newspaper was one thing, but talking to a guy who
looked like he could be an Abercrombie model was a totally different
scenario.
" So, whose your dad?" Harrison asked.
" Well, his name is Ted McGregor. He and my mom are divorced though. What about you? What's your mom's name?" McKenzie asked.
" Her name is Rachel Mariano, but she died a couple of years ago. From cancer actually." Harrison said sadly. Talking about his mom was never an easy thing to do.
" Oh, I'm really sorry." McKenzie stated surprised.
" Nah, don't be. She had a happy life." Harrison said sitting down across from McKenzie.
" I'm glad."
" So, I bet it's hard to have your mom and dad divorced." Harrison said, trying to think of conversation.
" Yeah it is. They're really cool about it though; I mean they still talk and everything. I think they actually get along better now."
" My best friend's parents were like that too."
" What type of music are you into?" McKenzie asked trying not to stare at him.
" I like indie-rock. Have you heard of Bright Eyes?"
" Yeah, Fevers and Mirrors, great album. What about Death Cab for Cutie?" McKenzie asked.
" Yeah, I have all of their albums. Hey, I know this is off subject but, has anyone told you that you have beautiful eyes?" Harrison asked, he didn't know why he said that afterwards.
" No, well you just did, but no one else." McKenzie stated, giggling nervously.
" Hey guys we're here." Rory said loudly announcing her presence as she and Jess walked in the kitchen.
" Hey dad." Harrison said standing up.
" Hey there son. I see you met Rory's daughter. I don't think I have though. Hi, I'm Jess." Jess said sticking out his hand to McKenzie.
" Hi, I'm McKenzie." She stated shaking Jess' hand.
" I know, your mom has told me a lot about you." Jess stated smiling. She looked so much like her mother, just with deep emerald green eyes.
" Oh I see." McKenzie said smiling at her mom.
" Hey there Harrison." Rory said hugging the tall young man that reminded her so much of the man she once loved.
" Hi Ms. Gilmore." Harrison stated.
" Oh please, Rory. Just call me Rory." She said laughing.
" So, whose your dad?" Harrison asked.
