By the time we reached Elizio's, the sun had set.

The quesadillas were delicious although an extra shot or two of tequila in the recipe would have added an extra zest to the dish. Halfway through the meal, my cell rang. It was Janice, wondering if I was coming back to Austin over the weekend.

"I wish I could but things are going pretty slow. I need to hang around here and keep working so I can get back to our Halloween dance next Saturday"

"I'll miss you," she replied wistfully.

I held my breath but she didn't continue. "I'll miss you. By the way, how's your aunt?"

"Much better. She's up and around. Not quite her old self but doing very well."

"Then I tell you what. Why don't you hop in that new little Jaguar roadster and buzz down here Saturday afternoon? We'll have a romantic dinner on the River Walk and take in the Bracero Festival at my hotel Saturday night. I'll even get you a room if you want one"

She hesitated. "What time?"

"Noon at the Grand Isle. You know it?"

"I'll be there. And Tony?"

"Yeah?"

In a sultry voice, she added, "Forget the extra room"

After punching off, instead of popping my cell in my pocket, I laid it on the table and grabbed my drink. Saturday had just become a very important day for me.

After another drink, I said good night and headed across the river to my hotel. Jack remained behind, ordering one more old fashioned.
