Recap: You guys went on camping trip and returned home. 

*Knock knock*

Joey: Come In.. 

Dad: Hey Joe.. [Smiles Slightly] 

Joey: Hi Dad.. What's up? [Smiles] 

Dad: Nothing.. Joe.. Can we talk? [Awkwardly] 

Joey: Sure.. Why not? Come sit. 

Dad: Don't get me wrong and I've no intentions to hurt you or invade your privacy.. It's just.. I've been observing you for past few days. 

Joey: No Dad.. Why would I think so? You can say whatever you want. Go on. 

Dad: Okay.. So I've been observing you for past few days and I've noticed some difference in your behaviour. 

Joey: What kind of difference Daddy? 

Dad: It's like.. You seem to be lost in your own world now and I'm really concerned about it.. I just wanna say that if there's something that you're hiding from me then please tell me. 

Joey: No Dad.. It's nothing. [Laughs Slightly] 

Dad: I know you've been through consequences after Kate's death but we will figure it out if there something you're going through again. 

Joey: Wait.. Now I got the whole point. 

Dad: Ahh.. What?

Joey: You're thinking that I'm going through depression or trauma or something like that again.. Isn't it? 

Dad: Ahem.. Yeah.. I think so. 

Joey: Oh My God! Daddy.. How can you be so negative? If I'm lost in my own world then maybe it's because of someone else... Oops.. 

You bit your tongue after realizing what you've just said. 

Dad: Wait.. What? Someone? Who's this someone, Joey? [Suspiciously]

Joey: Ah.. Uh.. No one. Yeah.. No one. [Gets up] 

Dad: Don't you dare hide it from me. [Raises one eyebrow] 

Joey: No Dad.. It's nothing.. I'm fine. I guess I'm getting a call. 

You took out your phone and tried to run away but your Dad caught you and made you sit back. 

Dad: No one's calling you. Give me your phone. Now tell me.. What's the matter? 

You forwarded your phone towards your Dad and looked at him with a little fear and decided to tell him everything. 

Joey: Fine.. I'll tell you. 

Dad: Yeah.. Please. 

Joey: Okay.. So I'm not in any kind of relationship.. It's just.. I'm crushing over someone and I think, I love him.

Dad: You aren't lying right? [Suspiciously] 

Joey: No.. Of course not! 

Dad: Okay.. Who's he? 

Joey: He's.. He's.. [Stammering]

Dad: Yeah.. He is? 

Joey: Ajey.. He's Ajey.. [Looks away] 

Dad: Wait.. What? That guy? Who fought with you? What kind nonsense it is? [Pissed]

Joey: No Dad.. Listen to me.. It makes sense. 

Dad: You're talking shit and now you're saying, it makes sense. Please explain how? 

Joey: Okay.. So.. Ajey apologized to me like I told you earlier.. 

Dad: Yeah.. So I told you to forgive him, not to fall in love with him. 

Joey: But.. I went on camping trip last week and I got to know him really well. He's good guy. Trust me. 

Dad: No way Joe.. I can't trust you with this. 

Joey: But Dad.. We've been good friends and I think he too loves me because the way he behaves around me or talks to me.. It's like.. We both like each other. 

Dad: But Joe.. He did hurt you before. How can you be so sure that he's a good guy? 

Joey: Yeah he fought.. But he was guilty for what he did earlier and now everything's well. We've been spending so much time together. We got to know each other. We like being with each other. What else do you want? 

Dad: I want you to be happy. That's all. 

Joey: Dad.. He makes me really happy. [Holds Dad's hand] 

Dad: But Joe.. 

Joey: Please Dad.. I won't do anything that hurts you. Trust me. I'm not wrong. 

Dad: What about his family? Have you met them? 

Joey: Yeah.. I met his family a few days back.. They're just like You and Mom. [Smiles] 

Dad: Please Joe.. Are you sure? 

Joey: Please Dad.. 

Dad: I don't want you to be broken again. Neither Kate would. [Sighs] 

Joey: Mom would be happy, seeing me happy. [Smiles] 

Dad: Yeah she would. [Smiles] 

Joey: Daddy.. You remember.. One time when I brought my boyfriend home and locked him in the closet. 

Dad: Ohh.. I remember it all too well. Your Mom was so angry that day. [Laughs] 

Joey: She was like.. "Is he your boyfriend? How? When? What?" She was confused as hell lol. 

Dad: I too got scolded because of you. [Laughs] 

Joey: She thought that you're the one to teach me all this like you too used to flirt with that aunt who lived nearby. [Chuckles] 

Dad: Lol Shirley.. She was my school friend. 

Joey: And you used to flirt with her and told me to not tell Mommy. [Laughs] 

Dad: Because I knew that Kate would never tolerate this. [Laughs] 

Joey: Yup. [Laughs]

Dad: But deep down.. Kate loved you more than anything.. She was just concerned that you don't be in wrong hands. 

Joey: I know and you think the same as well. 

Dad: Yup.. Cause for me, you're still my lil Joe whom I just brought home from hospital. [Chuckles] 

Joey: Yesterday? [Chuckles] 

Dad: Yup Yesterday. [Smiles] 

Joey: So now.. Have I got the approval? 

Dad: Yes you do. [Laughs] 

Joey: Ahhhh.. Thankyou... [Jumps in Excitement] 

Dad: It's alright.. But.. One thing.. Does he know that you're in love with him? 

Joey: No.. Not yet.. But I'm gonna tell him soon. 

Dad: Hurry up or  he's someone else's. [Laughs] 

Joey: C'mon Dad.. Don't say such things.. He's mine. [Laughs] 

Dad: And you're mine. [Kisses you]
