Tony goes along with the idea

"If I hadn't seen what just happened I'd say you were bullshitting," Tony said, shaking his head. "You could really do that? You know that would be worth it. You got a deal Frank!" He grinned and shook hands.

"Where are you meeting her?"

"She was going for a walk. She said to text her when I was done."

"What kind of things interest her?"

"I dunno, she likes animals. And going to the gym. She says she likes to travel but she never seems happy when we do."

"Text her and suggest you meet for a drink. Say that you've met a guy who has travelled a lot. That you're bringing him along. There's a little café over there. Tell her there."

Tony nodded and pulled out his phone. When a reply binged, he frowned and made an irritated noise.

"She's back at our Airbnb. Says she doesn't want to go out."

"Tell her you're on your way, with your new friend. You're bringing some wine. She likes wine right?"

"Loves it, but I dunno…"

"Try it. Tell her I know all about...what country does she want to visit?"

"France...Europe in general, but France..."

"Perfect, tell her I'm Italian, lived in Europe for years. Have some tips about how to travel and get the most for your money."

"Do you?"

"Just text her. I'll go buy the wine," Frank said firmly, striding away to a store.
