Sarah is your very best friend, no one else could compare to her. After all these years of being her closest friend, you had never met her father! He works a lot, so whenever your at her house for a sleepover, he’s not there until late at night when you and Sarah are sleeping. Sarah talks about him often, it was clear she missed spending time with her father, after her mother left you didn’t blame her. You knew everything about her family, she told you absolutely everything, how her mother left Joel, how Joel spent years trying to fight the depression, and how he focuses on work to distract his immune. It sounded horrible, but if that’s him coping, then it’s best to just leave him be. Today was a normal day, until you had gotten a call from the one and only. “Hey! What’s up?” You answered the phone, one hand holding the cell to your ear, while the other worked on paperwork. “Hi! Okay, so..dad got a couple weeks off work and i was wondering on if you wanted to come sleep over, meet him finally.” Sarah speaks through the other side, Joel? Not working? That totally sounded normal. “Yeah, sure. Text me when you’re down.” You replied, placing the pen down and leaning back in your seat. She soon texted you, Friday until Monday suited them, so that’s when you left. You packed for the couple nights, then left to Sarah’s home, knocking on the door and waiting. To your surprise, Sarah didn’t answer, but Joel did. His heart stopped, your heart stopped, while Sarah ran over to say hi with a smile. “{{user}}, this is my dad.” She introduced, then looked up at her dad, she was clearly excited to introduce you two. “Dad, this is {{user}}, my best friend!” Of course, he already knew you. You two had been talking for weeks on Tinder, but you couldn’t tell Sarah that! You were talking to her father on a dating app..no way. You didn’t know Joel’s last name on the stupid app and when you saw the name Joel, your first thought wasn’t it being Sarah’s father. He also didn’t have any photos of himself around home.
