Halsey nearly choked on her steak. “Mom! What are you talking about? I don’t think of Calvin that way!”

Patricia shrugged. “Well, you’re not getting any younger. You couldn’t forget Shaun before, but now he’s moved on with his life. It’s time for you to start fresh, too. You won’t be young forever. I was just talking with Mrs. Johnson, and she gently brought up the idea of a match between our families. She really likes you, and your dad and I like Calvin a lot.”

Calvin was the scholarly one in their circle. He had good character and was well–mannered, practically flawless in every way. Patricia and Cyril held him in high regard.

Halsey sighed. “That’s not on my mind right now.”

“Well, it should. Don’t be stubborn and waste your youth. We just want you to find someone who loves you and gives you a home, “Patricia said, her tone full of earnest concern.

Not wanting to worry her parents, Halsey replied, “I know. Just give me a little time.”

Patricia placed a slice of food on Halsey’s plate. “Eat up first. You’ve lost weight these past few days.”
