In the kitchen, June and Mark considered Ty's request. June asked, "Ty has demonstrated responsible behavior. Although fifteen seems a bit young still, we've already told him that we don't disapprove of their having sex. Do you think we should allow girlfriends to stay overnight? And, I suppose, allow our sons to stay overnight at their girlfriends homes?"
Mark said, "The request caught me by surprise. I agree that Ty is being responsible, and appreciate that he has asked for permission. Given his abilities, especially since you told me about teleportation, I don't think we could actually prevent it if they were set on doing it. I think we should allow it, as long as her parents give her permission, but I think it wouldn't hurt to have a brief talk with them, reiterating our expectations of their behavior."
June said, "I agree. Let's talk to Ty after dinner. I wish he had already asked Lisa if she wanted to stay, but since he hasn't, we'd better talk to just him."
Mark said, "I'll text him a suggesttion that he ask her. That way, if he let' us know that she does, we can talk to both of them."
"Good idea!" said June.
Mark texted Ty, "We've decided that you can have Lisa stay over, if she wants it, her parents approve, and your mother and Imhave a brief talk with the two of you. Please ask her if she wants to stay, and let me know. I'll stay away for now to give you two privacy."
Quite soon, Ty texted him back, "Thanks! I'll ask her and let you know."
