“Not likely. And I know exactly what you mean about her. I know the type. She’s pushy, but in a very hidden way. Even hardly knowing her, I got the feeling that she’s after money. It’s all she talks about, who has what. But I think something happened there tonight, with Sandy. I hope he does something about it.”

“I doubt he will. He’s totally faithful to Amanda. It’s a terrible thing to say, but I’m not even sure he loves her.”

“Yeah, but something happened tonight,” Chase insisted, trusting his instincts, and Stephanie hoped he was right. “It was like watching a movie. He fell for her like a ton of bricks, and so did she. Sandy was telling him how much she loves baseball. Hell, she doesn’t know a ball from a bat.” Stephanie was still laughing, and she wondered if Chase was right and something might come of it. It seemed unlikely to her, but stranger things had happened. She had met Chase. “Can you slip him her number somehow?”

“I don’t know how. What would be the excuse?” Stephanie asked him.

“Tell him to invite her to a game,” Chase said simply.

“Are you promoting a romance between your ward and my son?” she teased him.

“Yes, I am,” he said unashamedly. “And I’ll be doing you a big favor if it works,” he reminded her.

“Isn’t that the truth. I’d owe you big time for that one!”

“I’ll remind you of that one day.”

They talked about the concert again then, and he was pleased. He told her he’d call her the next day, when he woke up.

She was planning to see Amanda and Michael for brunch at the hotel before they headed back to Atlanta.

The next morning at the hotel restaurant, Stephanie thought that Michael still looked distracted, and he was unusually quiet, while Amanda chattered endlessly about the charms of Chase, how handsome he was, and how great the concert had been. She thanked Stephanie profusely for inviting them, and then went upstairs to pack her bag and brush her teeth before they left, while Michael spent the last few minutes with his mother.
