Gina Zander and I left the coffee shop. Once we were out on the sidewalk, he turned to me. “There’s a small Italian place about two blocks down, if you don’t mind walking,” he said. “Oh, I don’t mind. I actually like to walk—I get my steps in,” I laughed. “Your steps in?” he raised an eyebrow. “Yeah, you never heard that before? They say to get 10,000 steps a day for exercise. Get it—get your steps in?” I teased. “Well, I guess I’m behind in lingo. I just go to a gym. Never tried counting steps,” he laughed. “Then we can start now. I’ll tell you how many steps we’ve done,” I said, giggling. As we walked toward the restaurant, Zander spoke again. “Sorry about my father earlier. I know it’s just an excuse, but we’re Greek… marriage and babies, that’s the Greek way,” he said sheepish
