"In this follow-up story to the wildly popular A Present for Daddy, it's been six months since Bobby Jansen ran into Dave Knarr, an old high school chum, and not only picked up their friendship right where they'd left off, but even took it to the next level. Dating now, the men share an apartment as they begin to make a life together. With Bobby's seven year old daughter, Jenna, they've even begun to make a family.
For their six-month anniversary, Dave has something special planned -- a surprise luncheon with his two favorite people in the world. Jenna's in on it, and excited to skip school for the occasion. But can they convince Bobby to ditch work and play a little hooky?"

She studies herself in the mirrored wall, a look of bemused detachment on her pretty young face. “Bean?” he prompts. “Remember, this is supposed to be a surprise.

I’m ready to rumble.” Mr. Dave. It makes him sound so…well, old, to be honest, but Bobby said she couldn’t just call him Dave. “She has to show some respect,” he claimed. “But isn’t it a bit too formal for someone dating her father?”
