Getting to her feet, Mandi said, "You can be pretty irritating at times,
Cade. You know that, don't you?"
He shrugged. "Yeah, I've been told that."
With a wicked grin, she said, "Well good. Then maybe you can figure out why
I suddenly have a craving for Mexican food."
Cade shrugged again. "Hey, you're a big girl with your own money, ma'am. If
you want Mexican food, then by God, it's your right to eat the nasty stuff. I'll
be at the fish 'n chips place across the way. Just gimme a holler when you're
ready to move on and be sure to brush your teeth real well later, okay?"
"What?! You aren't coming with me?"
Doing his best to look puzzled, Cade said, "Well, I thought that's what I
said. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's what I said."
Raising her voice slightly to a strident tone, Mandi asked, "How would you
like to walk back to the hotel, Ed?"
"The oldest routine in the book. 'If you don't cooperate, honey, you'll have
to walk home'. Tacky. Very tacky. I'd never pull something like that on a date.
Besides, it's only about twelve miles. I can call a cab or take a MARTA train if
I don't feel like walking.
