“I couldn’t let that happen,” Grady said, “It’s really hard to find a good Scrabble partner that makes great hot cocoa.”
At that moment, their waiter showed up with the check. Lauren reached for it, but Grady beat her to the grab.
“Oh, no you don’t,” he said. “This was my treat remember. You’ve cooked plenty of meals for me already.”
“But none of them ever came up to the standard of ‘bou stew’, she said with a grin.
“I don’t know about that. You were a pretty quick study on that dish,” he shot back.
As the waiter returned with the receipt and Grady’s credit card, he said, “Thank you Mr. Grady. Please come back and visit us again soon,” before he walked away.
“Mister Grady,” Lauren queried, “What’s that about?”
“Sorry. I guess I never told you. Grady’s my last name, but everyone’s always called me that, so it’s more like a nickname or something.”
Putting on her best TV cop voice, Lauren said, “I want to see some I.D. Mister.”
Laughing, Grady flipped open his wallet and revealed his Alaska driver’s license.
Lauren grabbed it out of his hand to examine it more closely.
“Dylan P. Grady,” she read out loud. “Your first name’s Dylan?”
Lauren sat back in her chair in total surprise.
“So, what’s the P. for?” she ventured to ask.
Leaning forward to take her hand, Grady grinned and said, “I think that’s a subject for our next date and then we can talk about what it will take to convince you to become Mrs. Grady.”
