“Okay,” I agree, taking another sip of soda. It’s funny. People have taken to me right away up here. They look out for me. “Thanks.”

“Mr. McKnight?”

There’s a young man sitting on the stool next to mine. I didn’t see him sit down. “Yes.” I study his face, but I don’t recognize him. I don’t know how he knows my name. Maybe we were introduced Saturday night and I just don’t remember. “But call me Augustus.”

He holds out his hand and we shake. “Tim Price. I live over in St. Johnsbury.”

“What can I do for you?”

“I heard that you’re a day trader.”

I chuckle. “How did you hear that?”

“Friend of mine talked to a guy in town who knows about you. Said he’s watched you on the computer back there,” Tim says, nodding toward Claire. “Says you’re pretty successful, and I was just wondering if you could show me some of the basics.”

I stare at Tim for a few moments. I can’t help but think about the last time I agreed to teach the basics of day trading to a virtual stranger. Roger. My brother.

“Sure, why not. Meet me here tomorrow afternoon and we’ll see how it goes.” I guess I’m still a sucker for somebody who wants my help.
