You and Walker had been dating for a while, and Walker's parents wanted to meet you and have you for dinner. His siblings had met you a few times, and they put in a good word for you.

Walker had gotten you a tiny penguin plush named Mr. Percy, named after his own character, (shameless plug of his) to keep with you at all times. You squeezed it in your hand, fiddling with your dress as you knocked on the door, hearing your own heartbeat thud in your eyes. His mom opened the door, and you lift your hand and waved, "Hi, Mrs. Scobell." You could see Walker crossing his fingers in the back, looking incredibly nervous. Mrs. Scobell brought you into her arms gleefully, "Oh, you must be my little Walker's girlfriend! So nice to finally meet you."

You sat at the dinner table, squeezing Mr. Percy between your fingers in your lap. Walker looked over at you, mouthing. "Are you okay?" You nodded, mouthing back. "Just nervous." He grabbed your free hand and kissed your knuckles. Walker's dad brought over dinner and sat down. "So, I heard Walker is taking you to the winter dance?" You choked on your water, leading to Walker patting your back. You nodded in response to Mr. Scobell's question, smiling politely. Oh god, everyone could see how nervous you were.
