I had another question. "Dad, how come you speak Vietnamese so well?"
He grinned. "Jamie, your mother is a good and patient teacher; you should have stuck with it!"
He stood up. "Anyway, it's late, we have a busy day tomorrow, go to bed, now, your own beds, and I'll see you at breakfast!"

This is quite incredible, but in a very credible way! An amazing range, from some seriously funny humour to unexpected dramatic twists and real tension, the dialogue more than good enough for a top class film script; if anyone had the courage to make it into a film. Great also to have someone who writes UK English really well, careful not even to split an infinitive where almost everyone else would do so.
i dont think this Fuzzy_Kbear really knows what stockholm syndrome is i see he/she uses it in a lot of comments in the wrong context
Nia brought her friends along so that when Shelagh made the move she made on Jamie and got rebuffed,she wouldn't be as humiliated as if it had happened in front of all their friends. Read for context, Fuzzy_Kbrain. As for telling Jamie to take her out, probably the last time she and Jamie had been out together she was a little girl, not on a date, just big brother allowing his little sister to tag along because he was told to take her; anyone here with a kid sister has had that done to them, so take your snotty 'Stockholm Syndrome' comment and shove it, Brainiac, until you write something better keep your kitchen-corner psychobabble to yourself , because airing your incomprehension only gives you a wider audience to appear ignorant in front of.
I hope beachbum deletes your comment, but I know he won't, he believes everyone should have a forum, even those who need to learn to read for context before blathering on mindlessly.
This chapter just proved my point about this story not being a case of love. never made it past the first paragraph of page 2 before I had to jump ahead and comment. First Nia's diary... So she didn't even 'realize' she was in love with him, he was just Jamie and Jamie was her's not because she loved him but because everyone him included made her believe it. Then...
"Jamie, I want to go out tonight – I want you to take me to a club, you've never, ever taken me anywhere that you weren't ordered to, so tonight we are going on a date, you got it, Kimo-Sabe?"
So, she orders him to take her out because he never does unless he's ordered to.
and to make it worse this is supposed to be a date right? So, what does she do, that's right she calls a couple of girlfriends to come along so she's not bored while he takes a piss. If a guy did that and gave the same excuse the girl would throw a tantrum and break up with the guy even though most guys are only gone from their date for 5 minutes and girls can be gone for 30 or more.
I'm kind of surprised, I thought the dad's initial reaction was pretty reasonable. "Don't make me look at it while you still live here and aren't married yet." Seems pretty fair to me.
