Mr. Sweet didn't know until Eddie told him.
He didn't even know that his son was seeing anyone until Mrs. Valentine mentioned it over coffee in the teacher's lounge.
"Eddie seems especially happy right now, Eric." she had said, grinning into her mug.
"Yes, I noticed." he nodded, nipping his crumpet. "I wonder why..."
"Oh, he didn't tell you?" she raised an eyebrow. "He's snatched himself a lady friend."
He nearly chokes on his food. "Really? Well, I'll have to ask him about this lady friend of his. Maybe a little dinner is in order."
And he does exactly that, excited. He can't help but hope it'll be that Miss Millington... She seems very hopeful and the right fit for Edison. Honestly, he was fine with it being almost anyone.
Except for Miss Williamson.
And that's why he choked when his son told him it was, in fact, the fiery red-head. Oh, of course it had to be her. Of course! He was just trying to upset him. God, he only left to protect him!
But then, at dinner, he saw the way Eddie acted around her (or who he thought was her). How happy he was. And it finally made sense.
Maybe he could get used to this Miss Williamson.
Actually, Mrs. Miller, he corrects himself.
Jesus Christ.
A/N: And I'm back from the dead! Sorry it took me so long to update. I don't have much of an excuse, other than I got all my appliances taken away. And I know this was supposed to be Piper, but she's a little harder to write than I thought. So, instead, you got Sweetie. Yay.
Reviews are pretty cool tbh.
