Walter had just wrapped up some work when Caden called him to hang out'. Walter had been feeling on edge lately, so he agreed to meet at the swanky Golden Grand Hotel.

Caden was buzzing in their get-together, while Walter loo! d like he could use a week's sleep.

"You're looking pretty chipper. Hit the jackpot recently?" Walter asked, noticing. Caden's gusto, a far cry from his usual nitpicking self. Back in the day, Caden would make the chef check the temperature of his egg custard, not too hot, not too cold.

"Man, I joined this college student-run amateur racing team. It's like a scene straight out of a movie, all these gorgeous gals around. Makes me feel like I'm back in the college groove, all pumped up," said Caden with a grin.

'Come on, you know that's risky business. Your folks would flip if they knew," said Walter, trying to talk some sense into him.

"Hey, keep it on the down-low, will you? You're the only one in the loop. I'm planning to ride this wave a little longer." Caden winked.

"What's up with you? Not into the whole marriage and kids scene? I heard your mom is going nuts trying to set you up with all these high-class ladies, and you're not even giving them a glance."

Walter and Caden were tight, but Caden was known for playing the field. Despite being 26, he had not settled down, and he was even vocal about not wanting kids. Meanwhile, Walter was the golden boy, so much so that Caden's mother had grilled him a few times, half- joking if they were more than just friends.
