September 2006, Kloves Residence, London I had thought that after my conversation with Mum, things would be fine. I was wrong. Dad, who had been in Los Angeles for work for the past few weeks, was finally back home—and he wasted no time berating me all over again. “You’re being obtuse,” he said, disappointment evident in his tone. “Did you forget that by pushing this idea, you’re not just hurting Warner Bros., but us as well?

“So you’re telling me,” I began slowly, “that Steven Spielberg offered me the lead role in his next film and you declined? That’s why he’s mad at me?”“Yes,” Mum looked uncomfortable at my scrutiny. “You are doing films non-stop, Troy. At this speed, you’ll burn out.”“But then he’ll be extra harsh against and even against me later in my life!” I whined. “That’s so unfair!”“That’s life, get used to it,” Dad commented drily. “Moreover, Spielberg is not the only big…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Surprisingly, my parents didn’t create as big of a scene as I expected them to. One day after my birthday, they sat me down, and we had a frank discussion about my relationship with Emma.“I love her,” I said with utmost seriousness. “A lot.” It felt a little strange saying it out to my parents, but it was true. “It doesn’t matter what you have to say, I won’t stop dating her because of that.”“Troy,” Dad said in a serious tone. “You’re both very young.
