His thoughts had immediately gone to the worst case scenario and he was relieved to see his friend and not, say, his mother or brother beside him.

"Maybe!" he shot back. "But what kind of man would I be if I stayed home?" Technically he wasn't quite a man yet, but details. "I'm not gonna hide in the trees forever." He'd never win Velvette's affection if he did. And if he were alive, what would his father think of him playing it safe?
