I tap the steering wheel nervously as I drive, I can barely focus on the road with the thoughts flying around my head right now. You've told me repeatedly that your parents are going to love me, but there's this tiny nagging voice in the back of my head that worries you'll be wrong

My show in town is tomorrow night and I know your family will be there too. They wanted to meet me beforehand so we're having dinner with them tonight

I pull into the driveway of your childhood home

"So...this is it?"

my voice is somewhat nervous and shaky, I can't hide it
