His Dad ran through the book himself; he would occasionally give a nod or a, "I see."  Jonathon turned to him.  "You got something, Dad?"<br/><br/>"Oh yeah ... uh, that would be a negatory.  No, uh ...  nothing.   But the symbols are pretty."<br/><br/>Teo chuckled a bit and did a fake punch to his father on the right arm.<br/><br/>"Well son, you gonna insert the necklace into the cover?"  But Jonathon nodded his head.  "No, not if you're not coming with me."  But his Dad could not make such a promise.  "I can't Jonathon, I've done some bad things in life.  You should go on this adventure."<br/><br/>"But Dad!  Ambrosia can help you, I know she can.  She can cure you; before I met her, I did all kinds of bad things.  Then, when she began liking me and spending time with me, she turned my world upside down.  I've never been so happy!"<br/><br/>So his Dad pointed out, "See, that's why you should go!  She's your girlfriend."  Jonathon put his head down not sure what else to say.  Then looking up, "She's the best person I've ever met, she will be your friend, she can help you.  Maybe you'll be her father in law one day."  His Dad grinned at him and gave him a big, gruff daddy hug.  But of course, Jonathon was too old for that.  "Please Dad, I can't leave you behind.  I don't even know what I'm doing."<br/><br/>"But what about withdrawal symptoms I might go through?"  Jonathan pulled his Dad close to him and squeezed him tightly.  This was the reason why kids made fun of him at high school; he seemed to be more sensitive the most guys.  "We'll go through it together."
