“But I hate that word: pressure. I don’t ever want you to feel like I or my friends have pressured you into doing something you don’t want to do. The party is going to have drinking and rap music—which I’m sure your dad hates—and people will probably be hooking up. Getting loud. Being reckless. It might be too much for you, and I’ll be damned if you get into a situation you don’t want to be in and then blame me because you think I’ve coerced you into it.”
