This was a new step for Jeremy. He was never normally this forceful with his daughter but it was important to him that they finally sort out whatever mess was going on with her. It was tearing them all apart and driving them crazy, especially him. He didn't say much as he drove them to the Frye Leap Cafe. Thankfully he had the excuse of trying to concentrate on the road; in reality, Jeremy was trying to think of how he was going to discuss Natalie's problems with her. Hopefully she would be compliant but he got the feeling that he might have to squeeze it out of her, not literally of course.
Once he pulled the car into a parking space and turned off the engine, Jeremy turned to her, "Ready?" He unbuckled his own seat belt in anticipation to step out of the car when she did.
