"Deal." Joshua laughed. He would have an opportunity to trick

Sheffield.

Gifford looked at them in puzzlement.

"What are you whispering about?"

Before Sheffield could say anything, Joshua told him, "Oh, Sheffield was so touched that we helped him win his wife back he said he'd do anything we want. One favor for you, and one for me!"

Sheffield tried to stop him, but Joshua was too quick.

Of course Gifford realized what was going on. He acted as if he didn't know anything and played along. Placing one arm on Sheffield's shoulder, with a mock expression of gratitude on his face, he said,

“Dude, we're friends. That's what friends do. And thanks in advance for that favor. I have to think about what I want!"

“Joshua is..." Sheffield wanted to explain.

Gifford wouldn't give him the chance.

“I get it. Tell me what you want us to do."

Sheffield felt helpless. He had only promised Joshua one thing. Not one each. ‘Joshua played me! Forget it! I have a girlfriend to get back.

Sheffield angled his head towards Willow, who had already picked up a club.

"You and Joshua, go keep her busy."

Gifford smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry. We'll take care of it!"

With big smiles on their faces, the two walked up to Willow. Joshua asked, "Ms. Willow, do you Like playing golf?"

Evelyn explained, “She seems to be enjoying herself."

“Well, that's good. It would be our honor if you would play golf with us!" He winked at Gifford, and the two of them stood on either side of

Willow.

Birds of a feather flock together. That saying might be trite, but it was true when it came to Sheffield, Joshua and Gifford.

They were all handsome and well-mannered. Looking at Joshua's and

Gifford's pretty faces alone was enough to make Willow's day.

Before long, they were chatting with each other and Laughing.

Left alone, Evelyn turned her head to look at Sheffield, and happened to catch his eye. He was looking at her! He looked away and pretended to be practicing his swing.
