"Ah, so tell me, what's his name?" He inquired.
"Hey now, Dad!" I exclaimed playfully. "A father's supposed to know the names and where they hang out, but not necessarily the 'older, troublesome' ones," I teased, folding my arms.
"Well, since you brought it up, it's Hunter Kingston, right?" He said, maintaining a straight face.
My smug expression faltered as my hands fell limply by my side, revealing my surprise. "Yeah," I admitted sheepishly.
"You can confide in me about Hunter, dear," Dad chuckled. "He's the only one from that category you need to worry about."
