The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Camille Buckley replied, [What? Didn't your dad just have a dinner party? Why another one so soon? I'm guessing you're not allowed to skip it this time? I'll go if you're going!]

[Yeah, my dad knows I was just making up excuses not to go last time, so he resorted to threatening me to go this time. Come with me. Otherwise, it'll be so awkward for me to go alone.] [The dinner party sounds more like a grand matchmaking event... I wish you all the best. Haha.]

Camille sent a hug emoji. [I don't get it either. Why is your dad in such a hurry to marry you off? You're only twenty years old, barely an adult yet!]

[It's all because of Karen and Sadie! They're the ones who've been secretly persuading my dad to marry me off, and you know how soft-hearted my dad is.
