Caterina: Daddy?
Alejandro: Hmm?
C: I’m sorry to interrupt your coding, I’m sure you’re busy, but… you know how Sofia and I were able to fellowship with some other young folks from different churches when we were in Selvadorada?
A: Uh huh…
C: With our chaperones, of course, to protect us from anything inappropriate or sinful or, um, something else that could dishonor the Lord.
A: Mmm.
C: Well I was really, um, blessed to get to know a young man from San Myshuno called Perry Edwards. He really helped me in my walk with the Lord and I saw how devoted he was to reaching out in Christ’s name. I asked some of the girls from his church and they all agreed that he was a really good guy.
A: Yuh huh…
C: So, um, when we were in the airport, right before he got on his flight to San Myshuno, he told me he was really blessed to meet me, and that he could see how devoted I was to God, and said he’d like to continue a friendship. And he, um, gave me his phone number so I was thinking it would be really nice to set up a group chat with you and Mom and Perry and I and maybe Perry’s parents if that’s okay with you?
A: Mhm, slow down, uh- Caterina, yes, how old did you say he is?
C: He just turned twenty.
A: Uh… sure, let’s set up a video call.
C: Thank you, Daddy!
(AN: Ah, yes, open communication 🫠)
