Mrs. Fay also felt Eugene had acted inappropriately, though she didn’t see it as a character flaw. “Eugene likely just got anxious and ended up making some mistakes.””It doesn’t matter how rushed he feels. I’m not going to be with him,” Lydia responded firmly. “I was drinking that night, and something was added to my drink. Otherwise, things never would have gone as they did. I don’t intend to throw away my future over one night.” She was resolute. No matter how much pressure her parents put on her, she wasn’t about to fall into that trap. Getting into this was easy, but getting out would be nearly impossible. In addition, Eugene’s habit of running to others with every issue, was just too immature. “Lydia, it’s your choice whether to marry him or not,” Mrs. Fay assured her. “We wanted you to get to know him, but that doesn’t mean you’re bound to marry him.”To Lydia’s surprise, her mother was firmly on her side. Her father, after finishing two cigarettes, echoed her mother’s sentiment. “Even if you never marry, we can support you, Lydia. We want you to be happy, and there are many paths to happiness. Take the one that feels right to you.”Tears streamed down Lydia’s face. She was so grateful to have such understanding parents who fully supported her and respected her feelings without question.

She could just imagine the overwhelming push to tie the knot, and the thought alone made her feel on the edge of breaking. “Thank you. You both have been so good to me,” she managed, smiling through the tears. She truly felt blessed to be their daughter.”Just be clear with Eugene,” Mrs. Fay gently advised. “He’s a decent guy, but right now he’s stuck on the idea of being with you.
