The next day Josh woke up to the smell of food cooking in the kitchen. Sometime during the night, they had made their way back to Lance's house. josh knew he had to tell Lance everything today. He only hoped that Lance was not angry with him about not telling him aout the money earlier.

When Lance walked in with a tray, Josh sat up in bed smiling. "Lance, you didn't have to do this."

"I wanted to. now eat up, before it gets cold."

The two men ate in silence happily for a few minutes. Josh finally cleared his throat causing Lance to look up from his plate. "What is it, Josh?"

"I have a question for you."

"Okay," Lance said as he wiped his hands with his napkin.

"If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?"

"Europe," Lance said with a smile on his face. "France, England, Italy."

Josh smiled at the man next to him. "Well, what if I said we could do that?"

"Someday that would be nice."

"How about now? What if I told you I could pick up that phone and we could be on a plane today?"

Lance let out a nervous laugh. "Trips like that cost a lot of money even if you plan them months in advance."

"The money does not matter, Lance."

"Yes, it does. I don't have the money for something like that."

Josh laughed. "You don't, but I do. Babe, I am sort of what you would call rich." Josh laughed again when he saw the shocked look. "My parents left me a lot of money when they died, and I want to spend that money making both of us happy." Josh waited to see Lance's reaction to his news, but when he saw the smile that let up Lance's face he knew that everything would be okay.
