My voice was tight

My voice was tight. “Dad, this is Sam. Sam, this is Dad.” Dad looked at him for a split second more, and then smiled widely. “Please tell me you’re a boyfriend.” Sam’s eyes became perfectly round and I let out a big breath. “Yes, he’s a boyfriend, Dad.” “Well, that’s nice. I was beginning to think you didn’t do that kind of thing.”
