      The knot in his gut eased. “Mother didn’t stay in Dallas long after that, did she?”

      “Good heavens, no. She couldn’t wait for Tom to see you.

When I talked to her later, she said Tom was enthralled with you.”

      “Tom was never good at showing his feelings, but you were his son and he was proud of you.”

      He touched a clipping from the national finals in Vegas. “He’d told me that in Vegas, but I thought they were just words he felt he had to say.”
