In the room, Bobby said, “If you guys want to take a nap or something, I don’t mind taking a drive and looking around.”


“I’m too wired to take a nap,” Noah said.


“And the ‘or something’ can wait until we get home,” Tom said.


“Okay,” Bobby said, and grinned. “I just wanted to make the offer.”


“How are things going at Florida?” Tom said.


“School is great so far,” Bobby said, “and I’ve started to meet people. I’ve even managed to get laid a few times.”


“A good-looking guy like you ought to be turning down offers right and left,” Tom said.


“After I got involved with that group and started to meet people,” Bobby said, “I got plenty of offers. I guess I’m just picky about who I go to bed with.”


“Nothing wrong with that,” Tom said. “What’s the matter, babe? You look like you’re bursting to say something.”


“You know it,” Noah said. “Well, Bobby, how was it?”
