“Shit, Collins. Did you have to order the most expensive steak on the menu?”

“Since you’re paying, yes.” Lisa took a drink of her wine. She rarely drank wine, but if someone else was paying, what the hell. Her mind returned to her talk with Amy in the clubhouse. She didn’t realize Sarah had asked a question.

“Lisa?”

“Sorry. What’d you say? I think I’m tired. This road trip’s dragging me down.”

“I know what you mean.” Sarah cut into her steak and took a bite. “You were right. There’s nothing like these steaks.” She waved her fork at Lisa. “What I was asking was how do you see the Reds matching up against LA this week?”

“I think the pitching has held together for the season. Roberto Sanchez’s stuff has been electric since they called him up. If he can keep going, and if Fowler and Granderson can come through with top games again, I think they have a good opportunity to at least take two out of three from the Dodgers. They’d go home with a 6-3 road record for this trip. Not bad. Not bad at all.”

“You’re looking smarter and smarter with your predictions at the beginning of the year. I remember the Sporting News reporter razzing you when he saw who you picked to finish first in the divisions and that you had the Reds in there for the Wild Card hunt.”

Lisa swirled her wine before taking another sip. “Kind of nice being right sometimes.”

“Don’t get a big head.”

Lisa laughed. “Frankie wouldn’t let that happen.”

Lisa’s filet mignon was so tender it only took one pass of her steak knife to cut into it. She tried to enjoy the savory juices, but the image of Amy’s worried expression was still fresh in her mind. She said a silent prayer.
