“Dad, I do… we’ve been together for a year and a half.”

My eyes widened in surprise.

“I’m sorry I kept it hidden. I wanted to tell you at the right time.”

“You kept a serious relationship secret from me? I thought we were close. But apparently, you still see me as an old man who doesn’t need to know everything about your life,” I said, hurt but willing to move on. “I’m disappointed, but let’s focus on what you did.”
