"Probably, but there don't seem to be many single men around. You kind of stand out." "You should throw your net wider," he suggested. "Until I do, let's not get ridiculous. It's a beer and some dinner. It doesn't really matter how old we are or who my uncle is." He smiled. Sometimes she seemed a little older than twenty-five. She was awfully bright. Quick. Usually the problem with girls her age was they were dimwits. Not this one. She was honest and direct. Luke respected that.
