impressed. And you do some of the therapy sessions while you are home?”
    She nodded, glancing up at me through her lashes.
    “Yes, I’m not able to do much, just a few sessions a week when I’m home. I don’t do the group sessions and don’t do any of the harder cases since I won’t be able to follow through much. I really just step in when another therapist needs another perspective or has to go on any kind of leave.”
    “Well I am sure any help, big or small, does a lot for those who are suffering. I am sure your work matters to those who you have helped.” I smiled down at her, my grin broadening as I saw the blush creep up her neck and across her checks. A grown woman and mother of two grown kids with the ability to blush. Yes I was definitely fascinated.
    “Tyler, we’ve heard you know your way around a skate board.”
    “Yeah, Lily and I had to do an ad for Nike about six months ago. I had to learn to skateboard, she got to run around looking cute.” Everyone laughed at his disgruntled face. I had seen that ad when I was in New York last month. I liked it, a group of girls were running on the track at a school and a group of boys apparently were trying to show off with their skateboard tricks. If I remembered correctly Tyler was the one who did all the best tricks and won the attention of most of the girls while the guy who kept falling off his skateboard got Lily. I smiled. Yes, I had definitely liked that one.
    “Well if you all don’t have any plans after you sign the papers tomorrow and do your little walk through with Cora would you mind meeting me and Daniel at the park? Our oldest is trying to learn but I don’t know a single thing about a skateboard and with my luck this old boy would fall off and break something and end up in a full body cast.”
    “Hey! I said I would show Jamie a few things.”
    Joey turned to me and shook his head sadly.
    “Mate, you would end up in a full body cast too!” That sent the whole table back into laughter, except me who glared at my friend across the table.
    “I used to know my way around a skateboard mate, better then you ever did.”
    Joey held his hands up. “Yeah, yeah. You could ride circles around me. However, I think Jamie would benefit from having someone younger than us old gits showing him what to do.”
    I conceded and we turned to Tyler who was grinning at us.
    “Sure, Mr. Walker. I can meet you over there and help.”
    “Joey, please. Mr. Walker is my father. I’m not that old, yet .” Tyler nodded acceptance. Then Joey turned his attention to the redhead next to me. “Kathryn, you and Lily are more than welcome to join us as well. Cora is bringing a picnic and the other kids will be there.”
    “Oh, I don’t know, I wouldn’t want to impose on your family time.”
    “It isn’t imposing. We have enjoyed this evening very much. When I saw your kids’ pics in the pile of applicants for this season I had to have them. I’ve been wanting them for ages. Now that I have met you I want to know yous’uns better. I think we can all be great friends.” I watched the uncertainty in Kathryn’s eyes, silently pleading for her to agree with Cora. I knew she had been in this business for a while, there were a ton of designers and promoters who would say exactly what Cora said but without actually meaning them. Cora never said anything she didn’t actually mean. I hoped Kathryn could see that. Apparently she could because she smiled and nodded her acceptance.
    “Okay if you’re sure we wouldn’t be ruining your afternoon. We would love to join you all.”
    “It’s settled then. You can just ride with me after we get all the paperwork done tomorrow morning. It will be so much fun.” I excused myself then, went and found the waiter. I paid the tab for the whole table before heading to the restroom and washing my hands. It was a game that Joey and I always played. Who was quicker on their feet, to pay the bill for their dinners or lunches was
