After a sightseeing trip at the Hoover Dam, Pops and Gina Mae scooted out as soon as the limo stopped in front of the landing which led to Lake Mead Dinner Cruise.

“Dinner on the water? Oh, how lovely.” Gina Mae couldn’t contain her excitement. “Bill, did you plan this?”

“No, I told Ryan I wanted to do something special for you today, but he put everything together.”

Ryan closed the door to the limo after everyone had exited. “Well, I had some ideas. Winter at the concierge desk did all the scheduling this morning after I headed to the tournament.”

“Still. You’re a very thoughtful young man, Ryan. Thank you for taking the time to make today special. And thank you for coming with us. I thought you were going to be working,” Gina Mae said.

“Well, I did too, Gina Mae. But you know, things change.”

She patted her silver curls as a small gust of dry wind picked up around them. “I certainly do. Who would have ever guessed I’d find Bill again. And on a computer web site place. Things have certainly changed from our day. But I’m glad they have.”

Pops and Nana held hands, walking at a pace dictated by their age, but with footsteps in sync. Pops held the door at the dock for Gina Mae, and she thanked him with a smile. The years fell away as her eyes caught his and Ryan couldn’t help but see the girl she must have been before World War II arrived and tore her away from his grandfather.

Ryan stopped near the sidewalk and turned slightly, waiting for Lisa. He held the door open for her, wondering if he’d get a smile like Pops had received.

Had he really just called her “babe” in the limo? He certainly hadn’t planned it. And the more he thought about it, the more he felt like he’d just spiraled into some alternate world of Vegas cheesiness. Except that wasn’t how he wanted Lisa to think of him at all. They were in this situation together, and if he was honest with himself, her opinion now mattered to him.

Lisa looked up, a honey-gold sparkle in her eyes. The fears and worries that had been so evident earlier had been washed away. She looked beautiful, in a simple way that he hadn’t often seen in his years of living under the bright lights on the Strip.

Last night, he’d definitely taken notice of her—even though he’d initially tried not to. He’d wanted to treat her like an opponent, come up with a strategy to clean out her chips and send her packing.

But then he had a chance to talk to her, to get to know the real Lisa. And somehow, in that one evening, she’d been able to solidify his resolve to leave gaming and to find a way to start fresh and pursue his restless desire to do something with meaning.

She couldn’t possibly know what those few hours and her listening ear had done for him.
