When the young man returned with the small tray containing the check, a grin
broke out over Derek's face.  "I think he's taking care of this," he said
motioning at Nick.  He really didn't have a problem paying for dinner, but
Nick had insisted after all.

He then looked at Julia.  "Are you about ready to go?"

Julia smiled, not even bothering to hide how sleepy she was getting.  Not
that it would have worked with him anyway.  Her.... husband, she thought
with another smile, had a way of reading her even if she were putting up a
front for others.

She slipped her hand into his and gave it a small squeeze "I think Amelia's
telling me it's time for bed."


Barbara silently added her nod that she was ready to go as well as she
turned to Nick "That was a most excellent game and dinner, Mister Boyle."

Julia turned to Nick and grinned "Thanks Nick.  It was great."
