Scottie: You know my thoughts.

He smiled. If she only knew his.

Me: I do.

Scottie: See you at eight.

“What are you smiling at?” Dallas walked over from his mini bar, two glasses of scotch in each hand.

“Scottie.” Konrad took the glass.

“My God. You are in love.” He shook his head and drank. “Damn love is taking my friends.”

Konrad laughed. “You’re next, Dallas. I can feel it.”

“Nah. I’ll say Tylund is. I swear he and Mel act like an old married couple.”

Konrad shook his head. “No. It’s you. You’re next. I’d bet my Mercedes on it.”

“Hmmm. I’ll take that bet. I need to add a Mercedes to my collection.”

“And if you lose? What do I get?” Konrad took a sip, savoring it.

“To keep your Mercedes.”

“That’s not fair!” Konrad laughed. “You have to give something up.”

Dallas thought a moment, setting down his glass. “I tell you what. If I lose, I’ll let you buy me out on the hotel.”

“That’s a big wager, Dallas.” Konrad didn’t think Dallas could be serious.

“Love is a big wager.”

Indeed.
