She was careful with her words, hoping she wouldn’t offend him. “How about I buy the train tickets and you buy lunch.” He knew what she was doing and as much as he wanted to pay for everything, he also knew the tickets to Philadelphia would strain his budget. “All right. Thank you.” She made it easy for him to accept the offer and he appreciated that. The first couple of weeks of summer were easy for Everleigh.
