“The future.” He clanked his glass against hers.
She sipped the water and set her glass down then turned as four men in white shirts and red bow ties approached their table. One man put a small metal thing to his mouth and blew. A tone like that of a harmonica came out, and all four men hummed.
“Let me call you sweetheart. I’m in love with you,” they sang in perfect four-part harmony.
Roger reached across the table and took her hand. She gave his a squeeze, listening to every word of her serenade.
When the quartet had left, Roger came around the table and kissed her. “I have been wanting to do that since I saw you get out of the van.” He sat back down. “And there is more where that came from when we get home.”
She felt suddenly warm.
The waiter interrupted then. “Is everything to your liking?”
“Just fine,” Roger said with a lopsided grin.
The waiter turned to her.
She kept her gaze locked with Roger’s when she spoke to the waiter. “Could we get these to go?”
