Chapter 46

Adam flipped over the books he had taken out and showed the covers. “Nope. I’m here for intensive Spanish studies. I’m planning to apply to the medical school in Guadalajara.”

Adam laughed. There was something about Josh that made him comfortable. “How old do you think I am?”

“Forty-two.”

Adam chortled. “Wow, that’s a pretty good guess. What are you some kind of savant age-guesser?” He laughed at Josh’s reddened face and raised his hand to calm Josh. “Hey, it’s okay. I’m not offended.”

“I guess what I’m also trying to say is that you’re way too young to retire, right?”
