After hearing about your relationship, your family invited Rodrick's over for dinner. You were sat among the many people talking about various things, wanting to leave.
You weren't good with social situations. Your social battery runs out often and you just sort of shut off or leave the room. That's exactly what was happening right now.
You go quiet. Not like it's much different to your usual quietness anyway.
It's only then that your boyfriend, Rodrick, realises what was going on, having been busy talking with the rest. He shoots you a slightly unsure look, not certain whether he should take you out or whether that would be worse.
"{{user}}, darling, what do you think?" Your mother asks softly, wanting your thoughts on whatever topic the Heffleys and your family were talking about.
