Landon agrees to stay a few days so he and Ian can do the tourist thing. I give them the keys to my car and a list of some of my favorite places to visit, then I head into The Vault for a few hours.

Of course, Asher and Johnny have everything under control, so after a quick check in with the boys, I head back to town to meet Landon and Ian for dinner.

Ian loves sushi, so I am taking them to Mizumi at Wynn. It’s one of my favorite Japanese restaurants, and the maître d is both a client and a friend.

Landon and Ian are in the lobby when I arrive, and we walk into the restaurant together.

“Tanner!” Kazu gives me a big hug then bows to Landon and Ian. “Welcome, my friend. I have my best table ready for my favorite guest.”

“Thank you, Kazu. This is perfect.”

Ian is beaming at the personalized treatment, but Landon has a more serious expression on his face. I can tell he suspects Kazu knows me in a more intimate way than just from this restaurant. Landon was always very perceptive of the people around him. Apparently, that hasn’t changed.

We take a couple minutes to review the menu then place a large order with various types of sushi. I want Ian and Landon to experience all the great things Vegas has to offer since they’ve both been tainted by its seedier side already.

While we eat, Ian tells me about his day walking through the casinos and tasting all the delicious treats they came across. But his favorite part was visiting a batting cage right on the Strip. I smile to myself when I realize they visited Damon’s place, but I don’t point out the connection. I don’t want to ruin Landon’s memory of their time together by associating it with my friends from The Vault.

By the time we finish our meal, Landon and I both have a decent Sake buzz, and Ian looks ready to burst. He sampled every roll that was put in front of him, and then some. I forgot how much a teenage boy can eat, but I’m happy to see the joy on his face. It’s the first time I get a glimpse of what my life could have been like if I’d settled down and started a family.

Right as we stand to leave, Ian’s phone dings with a text message. He glances at the screen and his eyes light up. “It’s those kids from the yogurt shop,” he says to Landon as he opens up the message.

“Cool,” Landon says, handing me the keys to my car. “What do they want?”

“They are having a movie night tonight and want me to come.” He looks at Landon and then at me. “Is that okay?”

I don’t know how to respond to that. I look at Landon, letting him take the lead on this. I’ve never actually parented before and this doesn’t seem like the moment for me to start.

“Where is it going to be?”

Ian sends a message back and we wait for a response.
