“The interview is Thursday,” Dallas said that evening as Keith’s real life crashed in around him. “10 a.m. You should email me your resume, so I can go over it.”

“I know how to do a resume.” He sat at the table over his dinner that was already cold. Eating didn’t sound appealing. Living didn’t even sound appealing. Finally he stood and took his dish and the phone to the sink.

“Still, you haven’t had much practice with things like this,” Dallas said. “I’d hate for you to mess up this chance. It’s such an incredible opportunity.”

“I won’t mess it up, Dallas.”

“I didn’t mean ‘mess it up’—like be an idiot, but you have to understand these companies are not your father. They aren’t going to overlook the details.”

“What details about me do they need to overlook?” Frustration seeped through him.

“You know what I mean, Keith. You don’t exactly have an extensive history outside your father’s influence.”

That would’ve been a challenge. “I worked all while I was in college, and I was the manager for the racing operation here from the time I graduated. We’ve turned a profit on the racing every single year, and this year our revenues are on-pace to double.”

Dallas sounded less than impressed. “That’s good for a hobby, but a real company…”

“Listen, Dallas, I’ve got things to get done.”

“But we haven’t even talked about the house. Did you call Jane at the realtor office? She needed to know what our offer would be.”

“What is our offer going to be?”

“Well, that depends if we go through the bank or if your dad will underwrite us.”

Keith scratched his head. “We’d better go with the bank. I don’t really want to be tied to family if at all possible.”

Her side went quiet. “It’s going to be hard for us to do it on our own. With neither of us having a real job yet…”

“I have a real job.”

“You know what I mean. The bank needs something more solid than what we plan to do. Are you sure you can’t ask your dad? That would really help.”

“I’ll see what I can do.”

“Have you talked to him about the jet?” Dallas asked. “I talked to Rachel, and she might catch a ride with us.”

“Who’s Rachel?”

“Oh, a friend from Advanced Legal Theory. She lives in Tennessee.”

“But we’d be coming to Texas.”

“Well, yeah, but Tennessee’s right on the way.”

“Right…?” Keith was having trouble breathing. Dallas seemed to take it for granted that not only was whatever his, hers, but that apparently included whatever was his father’s as well. “We’re going to have to talk about this whole plane thing.”

“Oh, Keith. I’m sorry. Heather just showed up. We’re going to dinner. Ristorante Reppucci.”

He had no idea what Ristorante Reppucci was, but the fact that she pointed it out must mean it was expensive and meant to impress him. “Oh. Okay.”

“I’ll talk to you tomorrow night.”

Oh, good. Something to look forward to. “See ya.”

And they signed off. When Keith hung up, it was like dropping a fifty-pound pack. He sat down on the couch with a thump.
