"I'll keep in touch." Jim handed each man his Henretty & Henretty business card. "Job's changed, but the number's still working. Sign me up for the wetland group."

Dunleavy pocketed the card. "We will."

"Right on, brother," Decareaux shook Jim's hand. "And nice to meetcha, darlin'." He bowed slightly while he maintained eye contact.

"Nice to meet you, too," Maureen said.

"Take care," Dunleavy said. "Look for our group's emails!"

"I will," Jim said. "Good luck on your tour, Jean."

The Cajun smiled affectionately, with a hint of sadness about the eyes. Jim walked back toward the bar to pay his tab. He reached for his wallet.

"Oh, no you don't!" Finnerty said. "Your fellow bayou-dweller already signaled to me. He's got this one."

Jim began: "No, I can't—"

"I insist," Decareaux said. "Buy me an Abita down the line."

Jim laughed gently. "Thanks, Jean. Thanks."

He waved at Finnerty, Dunleavy, and Decareaux and trudged reluctantly up the short stairwell, with Maureen following. Halfway up, he heard Jean speak.

"Always watch the drink, man. And never stop prayin'."

Jim opened the door. Once again, they stood on the curb. On Maureen's face was a complex amalgam of curiosity and slight indignation.

What was the reason for such an expression? He did not know. He could barely think now, for all the homesickness that burned like embers through him.
