“I’m sorry, Petar, you are right. Loren and Dirk, what are your plans while here in Bulgaria?”
“We’re hoping to visit the Rila Monastery and drive the coastal road to Varna,” Loren said.
“Along the way,” Pitt added, “I plan on exploring that Ottoman shipwreck we found. After that, there’s a rusty old Italian car I’d like to see about acquiring.”
“Ana,” Loren said, “you better fill me in on where to go shopping while he’s underwater.”
Pitt took Ralin by the arm. “Come along, Petar. I’ll buy you a drink while I can still afford it,” he said with a wink. “We can toast to rich shipwrecks, vintage cars, and strong women.”
As the two men moved off toward the bar, Ana turned to Loren. “He’s a man of a different age, isn’t he?”
Loren looked over at Pitt with pride and smiled.
“Yes. But I’m glad he’s living in this one.”
