"Mr. Barton, that oldHarley left the shop running as sweet as sweet could be. The customergave me a one-hundred dollar tip. I tried to refuse, but he forced itupon me. Here's your half." No, Ben. You keep it. You earned it."Ben smiled. Becca, now awake, smiled warmly. I wasn't sure if she smiledat what I had just done, or if she was. My eyes were a bit damp, also.
