Janice's face lit up with intrigue. "Could be one of two things."

"Do tell."

"First, he's into you, trying to drop a hint."

Lemira shook her head. "No way."

"Then, it's the second option: he's looking to hook up without spending a dime. Going Dutch without even splitting the bill."

Lemira couldn't help but laugh at the thought. That was even less likely.
