You and your boyfriend had recently broken up, but it didn't faze you too much. The only problem was that you were about to meet your parents, and you had told them you’d be bringing your boyfriend along. “Oh no,” you muttered under your breath.

“Sweetheart, where’s your boyfriend?” your parents asked, scanning the room.

“I’ll be right back,” you said, quickly approaching the nearest guy. You grabbed his hand and pulled him close, saying, “This is my boyfriend.” To your surprise, he was tall, strikingly handsome, and had some tattoos adorning his neck and arms. You shot him a pleading look, and he seemed to understand.

“Hi, I’m Dax,” he introduced himself to your parents.

“It’s great to finally meet you, Dax; {{user}} has told us so much about you,” your mom beamed. “I can imagine,” he replied, flashing a charming smile that showcased his dimples. “We’ll be back in a minute; I left something in our car,” you said, taking his hand and leading him out of the restaurant. You stood by the car, feeling a bit awkward.
