The Favor (by the Tahoe Ladies)

I had known Coyote a good two minutes when I came to the conclusion that she was good Tahoe Lady material. Just looking at her, you know that there is adventure in her soul; she also has that rare capacity to be fun and serious at the same time. When I made the suggestion to join us, there was no hesitation whatsoever. She was game. Throughout all of our writing together, she manages to do the same thing she does with life: get (and give) the absolute most she can. ~ ITL

Ben asks Joe for a favor that turns out much better than Joe could have ever imagined…..
