When Tanner dropped Jessie and Ceara off at Ceara's shop, he handed Jessie another business card. "In case you lost the last one. I'm always just a phone call away."
Taking the card, Jessie smiled at him. "Thanks for everything. I don't know how to thank you."
"Be my friend, Jess. Good friends are hard to come by in this world. I'd be mighty pleased to be one of yours."
"Done."
"I better get going and get the truck back to my Dad."
Jessie waved to Tanner as he drove away, feeling like she had really made a good friend.
"He is." Came Ceara's soft voice from the doorway. "He's one of the best. You could do far worse than have a friend like Tanner Dodds on your side."
"Been there already, Ceara."
"Yes, I believe you have. Come on, girl, we have work to do."
Once in the shop, Ceara left Jessie to read more Internet historical pieces to fill in any gaps from their history lesson, while Ceara returned to the boat to pick up the rest of her printouts.
