I imagine Jane was 'scared' of her father's intentions too.

Needless to say, Jane and I were no longer friends after that night. From mutual friends, I did learn that her father thought about involving the police after the fact just to put a pin in the possibility of her and I socializing in the future. It didn’t matter that this father knew me, that he had frequently invited me to his home, or that for a time, seemingly had no issue with my being around his daughter. What mattered to him was the unimaginable thought of a Black boy involved with his white daughter.

I imagine Jane was 'scared' of her father's intentions too. I wrote an article on racism - centring on George Floyd - maybe she thought the Police would have responded in much the same way as that racist officer did.
