"I'm not ashamed of you!" Emile responded indignantly, his voice rising slightly. "There's a difference between that and being sensible. If I'd told my parents about you, my father would have been very angry with me. And you know, I spend most of my time with you at school, I've visited you all summer, I haven't broken up with you even when Stéph and Marie have made it clear they dislike you. So don't fucking tell me I'm ashamed of you because I'm not willing to make my own life miserable by telling my father."
