move on, chica, nobody cares. readers might swoon for a good solid minute but that's about it. unless it contributes to the real plot, it's just unnecessary scene that needs to be cut out.
for ex, in The Truth About Kian, main character's parents are mentioned because spoiler alert — kian is her half brother, a product of neglect and her dad accidentally urged him to commit su1c1de. and liam's father is shown because he offers a swell summer internship to her — essence of epilogue (and excuse for liam to spend time with reed, although a cliche it works).
