over at him and then back down like I was not that interested. “Yeah, what about him?”
    “I think he has a bit of a crush on you Lana.”
    He just stopped and I was left holding my breath. For one it was the last thing that I would think that he would talk about and for two, I couldn’t believe my ears. Surely I had heard it wrong.
    “What do you mean?”
    “Come on Lana. I don’t know what you guys talked about on the porch that one evening, but I could tell there was something there.”
    I felt my cheeks growing red. “Dad, I can’t talk to you about this.” I was becoming mortified to be honest and I wanted him to stop talking immediately. I had never talked to him about boys and now that I was an adult, the reality of it was even worse than the fiction I had created in my head.
    “I am not trying to talk to you about it, just to say that if you are going to be in town, you should go say hi. I gave him your cell number. He has honestly driven me crazy asking about you.”
    “Okay.”
    There was nothing else to say and the rest of the meal was as awkward as those two minutes were. I don’t know why he said anything to me about it, but I couldn’t help but have a little hope. What had I said to him to make me so unforgettable to a guy like Curt?

Chapter 4
    Curt
    “Curt are you ready?”
    I was back home for the afternoon to go to the graduation with mom. She was excited and Nick was there as well. His parents were vacationing and couldn’t be bothered to come home. So he was riding with us and then we planned to go to a huge party in town later that evening.
    “Yeah, just give me a minute.”
    The tie was not a clip on like I asked for. I still do not remember how they tie and after another few minutes of staring at myself in the mirror and getting no closer to anything resembling what I wanted for a knot, I pulled it off and went into the other room.
    “Your coach just pulled up. Is he coming too?”
    I looked out to see Coach Steve walking up the steps. I had mentioned something about it to him a couple of weeks ago, but he hadn’t said one way or another if he was going to come or not. I figured that he wouldn’t. I had messed up and asked about his daughter one time too many. I didn’t mean to, but I just had to see her and talk to her. The last time I had talked to him, he had given me a number to call her, though I still hadn’t called her yet.
    “I asked him a couple of weeks ago, but he didn’t tell me one way or another.”
    “Well I guess he is coming. Go answer the door while I put my earrings in.”
    I went to the door and opened it before he could hit the doorbell. “Hey Curt. Looking good. I am glad they went without the robes this year. Suit and tie is always a better choice.”
    “You think so? I was hoping for the robes, but either way it doesn’t matter. As long as I get the degree and don’t have to go back.”
    “You did good Curt. You should be proud of yourself. I am proud of you.”
    “Thanks Coach.”
    I moved back to let him in and shut the door after him. He saw the tie in my hand and offered to help. There was a moment, a second that I wished it was my dad asking, but it was gone and I was left thankful for the offer. I was ready to just go without.
    “I was just coming by to make sure you were going. I will be riding in with my daughter, so I will see you there.”
    I tried to hide the glimmer of hope. It was so not like me. If I wanted a girl, she always wanted me just as bad and I could just take it. Half the time it was offered to me, but ever since I had finally met Lana, she was all I could think about. It was her father though, so I just shrugged and told him I would see him there.
    “I thought your coach was here?”
    “He was. Just letting me know that he was coming and to wish me luck.”
    “That was nice of him. He has always been good to you. Ever since…”
    I couldn’t talk about it. “I know. Let’s just get going before we are late
