The next day came and went quickly, with Dallas trying to convince his parents that he would be fine, that he was grown and knew what he was doing.
But his father insisted on speaking with Ivan, saying that only then would he decide whether or not he agreed with what Dallas was doing.

What truly mattered to them was whether he would be okay and if everything would work out.

He hadn't told his father everything, not because he didn't trust him, but because he and Ivan wanted to keep things low-key for now.
