`Are you still getting calls about that article in St. Louis Scene?" Marta took a bite of her hamburger and slid the bag of fries across the table toward Rachel.

"They've tapered off." Rachel slid the bag back without succumbing to temptation and speared some lettuce and a chunk of meat out of her chicken Caesar salad. "Nick said it would be old news pretty fast, and it's been four days"

"Speaking of Nick ... I was afraid he'd invite you to some little French cafe again and you'd stand me up"

Rachel played with her fork. "Not for a while"

Marta looked around the crowded fast-food outlet and lowered her voice. "His impromptu official visit yesterday didn't put an end to your relationship, did it?"

"No. But it's on hold for a bit:' Everyone at both schools where she taught had known within hours that the FBI had come calling. A wry smile twisted Rachel's lips. The grapevine was alive and well in the world of elementary education.

"Can you talk about it?"

"Sorry. They asked me not to"

"That's okay. I'm married to a cop, remember? I know all about discretion and confidentiality and not compromising cases. I'm just glad their visit didn't dampen the romance"

"I'm not sure I'd call it a romance at this stage:"

"Trust me, it's a romance. The man invites you out to a cozy cafe for lunch, sends you roses, makes you glow-romance, no question about it. And that reminds me ... I want to hear all about the weekend you described to me yesterday as amazing. We only had five minutes, and I've been dying to hear the details"

Smiling, Rachel toyed with her lettuce. "It was perfect. We went to the Botanical Garden. Took in a movie. Ate dinner on The Hill. And that was just Saturday. Oh, and did I mention he cooks a mean eggs Benedict?"

Marta swallowed and stared at her. "He cooked for you? Wow:" She shook her head. "I've been married ten years, and the one time Joe tried to fix dinner we had to call the fire department:"

"Very funny."

"No. Very true. The neighbors still talk about it. What did you do on Sunday?"

"We went to church, and then he drove me to the hotel and stayed for tea while I played"

"You went to church. And he went to tea" Marta mulled that over as she munched on a French fry. "This is serious, Rachel:"

"It's too soon to be serious"

"It might be too soon to buy a marriage license, but it's not too soon to know it could be serious. I knew Joe was the one on our first date. Sparks flew from the beginning. They still do. How are you and Nick doing in the sparks department?"

A flush warmed her cheeks. "I'd call it more like an electrical storm. On my end, anyway"

Marta wadded up the wrapper from her burger and dropped it in the bag, grinning. "Yep. Romance with a capital R. And all thanks to a bedraggled Raggedy Ann doll. What a story to tell your grandchildren.
