THE FISHERMAN'S PIER
"I think a night out will do you
a world of good," Maggie beams, as if she's proud of herself for getting
Andy to come out with her.
He shrugs. "It can't hurt."
"No, it can't," she says as they
enter the restaurant.
The first thing either of them notices
is how packed the entry area is.
"Although being caught in a stampede
might not be so good," she adds, looking around in a little bit of horror
as they push their way up to the hostess.
Andy is about to inquire about the
wait when he sees Sarah across the restaurant. He waits only a second before
her gaze catches his, and she motions for him to come over.
"That was easier than I expected,"
Andy says.
"What?" Maggie asks.
"I see a friend over there," he says.
"And she just happens to be the daughter of the owner."
He leads her over to the table where
Sarah, Matt, and Victoria are seated.
"Andy!" Sarah exclaims. "It's been
forever."
"It really has. How are you?"
Sarah pauses a moment to consider
the question and comes back with, "Not so bad. How about you?"
"I can't complain," he says. He turns
to Matt. "Matt, isn't it? It's nice to see you again."
Matt nods. "You too."
Andy steps back a little, as if presenting
Maggie. "I'd like both of you to meet Maggie Hudson."
"Nice to meet you," Sarah and Matt
say almost at the same time.
"Maggie, Sarah and Matt.
And this--" Andy rubs the baby's head lightly. "--is their little girl,
Victoria."
"It's nice to meet you," Maggie smiles.
"Listen, why don't the two of you
join us? Otherwise you'll never get to sit down," Sarah says.
Sarah gets up and goes to the other
side of the booth, sitting beside Matt, and Andy and Maggie slide into
the empty side.
Andy glances around the restaurant
in a bit of amazement and then looks to Sarah. "Why does it seem so out-of-control
tonight?"
"My dad said they're having some
staff problems," she explains. "At the rate things are going, we may never
eat."
The comment hangs over the table
for a moment. Then abruptly, Matt signals for Sarah to let him out of the
booth. She does.
"Where are you going?" she asks.
"I'll be right back," he says, heading
off.
Sarah flashes Andy and Maggie a puzzled
expression.
