Chapter 6:

It was a quarter to 8pm and Lauren was early to meet up with Bo. She was always rather early to meetings, but this time she made sure to give herself enough time before Bo arrived to relax and get comfortable. Sure, she would be anything but relaxed once she caught sight of Bo, but for now she could at least try and collect herself. She grabbed an open seat at the bar figuring that when Bo arrived they would move to a table.

"Hey, just the genius I wanted to talk to. I will be with you in a minute," Trick shouted as he waved to Lauren and finished taking orders from a group of college students at the opposite end of the bar.

Try as she might, Lauren couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. Trick had called her a genius for one, and it was apparent that Lauren had been a regular topic of conversation between Bo and her granddad. All these were telling signs that Bo and Lauren could maybe make this work.

"I'm really glad you're here," Trick said. "I wanted to check in with you and see how Bo was doing." He reached under the bar and grabbed a cold bottle of ale and placed it on a coaster in front of Lauren.

Lauren was definitely excited to catch Trick up, and wanted to use this opportunity to brag about Bo's continuing academic success. Her face beamed as she explained, "Oh, Bo is doing very well. Her aptitude for science is pretty remarkable. And the fact that she plans to pursue another science class is really great. I could see a future in the sciences at the rate of her acquisition."

Lauren reached for the ale in front of her and took a drink. She wanted to give Trick the opportunity to celebrate the success of his granddaughter and ask any questions regarding her course selection or tutoring schedule. Bo had mentioned this morning that he wanted to talk about all those things, so Lauren thought it best to give him a chance to choose their discussion starting point.

Trick's face indicated that he was pleased to hear that Bo was doing well academically, but Lauren could tell that there was some other concern he had about his granddaughter. After taking a deep breath, the old bartender leaned in and placed both elbows on the table. He interlaced fingers and placed them under his chin without saying a word.

"That's nice to hear and to be expected. Her family and I have been pulling out all the stops to maintain her eligibility," he said flatly. "What I really wanted to talk about was her life beyond academics and fencing." His eyes narrowed and his voice softened. "Her coach informed me recently that she has been…slipping. This past month was the worst she has ever performed and I would really like to get to the bottom of it."

Lauren sensed his genuine concern and inquired further about Bo's change in behavior.
