I took a deep breath as I stared out the windscreen of my SUV. OK, breathe, Peter. There's no vampires, just Mrs. Brewster, the rational part of my mind said. Yeah, screamed the panicked part, but vampires don't decide whether or not you can tell the guy you love how you feel! Focus, Peter! said the part focused on my mission. Faint heart never won fair vampire hunter. I took another breath, got out of the car, and knocked on the door. "Oh, hi, Peter." I noticed that she was smiling as she greeted me and nervously smiled back. "Hello, Mrs. Brewster." She shook her head, still smiling. "Peter, we've known each other for a while. I keep telling you it's OK to call me Jane." I sighed. "Uh, Jane, could I come in? I have something important I need to ask you." Jane gestured toward the sofa, closing the door behind us. "Sure, of course. What do you need to talk about?" I took another deep breath. "Jane, uh-there's no easy way to say this, but-oh, bollocks." My voice trailed off to a whisper on the last words. How pathetic was I that I couldn't get this out? "Language, Peter," Jane gently scolded me, but her mouth was turning up a bit at the corners. "Just spit it out." I looked at the coffee table and tried again. This time it was a little easier. "Again, there's no easy way to say this, Jane, but I'm in love with your son. Normally I would just ask the person I love out directly, but I thought that since I'm famous and much older than Charley, the most respectful thing to do would be to ask you first. Would it be OK if I asked him out? If you want him to move out and not talk to me again I understand-" "Peter!" Jane held up her hand to cut me off. She was smiling again as she explained, "I already know. Amy told me, and she and I know Charley loves you. We want both of you to be happy, and we will be as long as you two are." Holy shit! my mind screamed. I took a moment to compose myself enough to suppress the bad language and finally said, "Th-thank you so much, Jane." My heart leapt at her reply: "You're welcome. Now what the hell are you waiting for? Get out of here and ask the boy out!"
