RP With Malcolm Bright

Dawn knows that the decision for Malcolm to introduce her to his father was not an easy one, when they first started dating he had been very firm in the idea of them never crossing paths which she had accepted without question but as time progressed and they had become more and more serious she thought it was worth asking about again.

Not because she wanted to meet Martin Whitly but because she wanted Malcolm to be able to keep moving forward in their relationship, especially since now they've admitted that they can see having children together in the future. But before that can happen Malcolm needs to know and see that Martin won't be a wedge between them. That he won't drive or scare her away from the man she loves.

But it isn't going to be easy, she can already see how tense Malcolm is and she reaches over to take hold of his hand. Giving it a gentle squeeze as the car Malcolm's mother sent for them slows to a stop outside the prison.

"Hey." She says softly, "I love you."

This is as tense as Malcolm has been in a long time. With Dawn, his anxiety seemed to be abating on a day to day basis. He also hadn't been visiting his father as frequently. Now, being here is bringing all of the feelings flooding back. Malcolm's hand has been shaking all day, though Dawn won't feel it in her grip. Just holding her hand makes him feel a little bit more comfortable.

"I love you too," he replies with a smile.

After going through security, the two of them walk down the long hall to Malcolm's father's cell is.

"If he says or does anything that makes you uncomfortable, we can leave immediately," he says. In his mind, this is a privilege for his father. He gets exactly one chance before he and Dawn are gone.
