Who: Ed McMillan, Ashleigh Barton, Ashleigh's parents (NPCs) What: Meeting the parents Where: Ashleigh's house, Chicago When: backdated to Tuesday, early evening Rating: PG-13? IDK, I'm kind of afraid of this thread Status: Incomplete // Closed
Ed was naively looking forward to this, to meeting Ashleigh's family, getting to know her parents and spending a little time where she'd grown up. He'd been to Chicago before, of course, visiting Matt over the last few years, but this time was different. He was excited to have her show him all her favorite spots and all of that.
It seemed to be going well so far. Ashleigh's father had picked them up at O'Hare and they'd talked about school and football on the drive to the house. Ed had managed to not show quite how nervous he was and.. he was pretty sure he hadn't said anything horribly stupid yet.
Granted, he'd also yet to ask the man if there was any chance he could steal the girl away for New Years' Eve, but he decided there was plenty of time for that. After he'd won him and his wife over, of course. Poor Ed was completely oblivious to the fact that there really would be no winning his girlfriend's mother over and he was still foolishly optimistic about this trip home with her.
