The thought of breaking the news to her parents that her blind date had shifted from Levi to Jeffrey was daunting. There was no way her parents would take it lightly.

She needed a detailed plan on how to break it to them and, truth be told, Karen still found the idea of her and Jeffrey discussing marriage a bit ludicrous.
