"Pushing his father in the wheelchair, Everett Jamison III eyed the long lines in the large waiting area and bit back an oath. Rett didn't have time to spend two weeks on this cruise up the Mississippi, let alone the hours he'd waste on the dock waiting around to board. Hours he couldn't afford to lose."

Amazement and awe crossed his features, followed by quick smiles as he patted his father on the back. She could just imagine Daryl. He'd be derisive and critical of the tourists. It was nice to see a man enjoying the corny fun."
