The next day Ray, Robert and Gianni were having dinner at Nemo's. Marie and Frank were keeping the kids. Ray was trying to pay attention to the conversation but he couldn't stop thinking about Debra.

"Hey Big Nose, what's with you?" Gianni asks.

"Huh?" Ray asks

"You've been staring into your soda for a 15 minutes. Are you alright?" Gianni asks again.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about this woman I met last night." He explains.

"Woman? Do tell." Gianni says

"Come on man, stop drooling," Robert says then turns to Ray, "What woman? Does she work at the paper?"

"No, actually Ally has a new friend at school and it's her mother. She's a widow and just moved here about a month ago." Ray answers, his face almost lighting up as he remembers Debra's smile.

"Why don't you ask her out?" Gianni asks.

Just then Debra walks in the restaurant to pick up a pizza. Ray notices her from across the room, "Oh my God. There she is."

"Who?" Robert asks.

"Her. Debra." He answers.

Robert and Gianni look to see Ray pointing toward a very attractive brunette at the counter.

"Go over there and ask her. She's beautiful." Robert encourages.

Just then she notices Ray and comes toward their table, "Hey, Ray. Funny running into you here. How are you?"

Ray is stunned and fumbles for words, "Uh, oh. I'm fine. How are you?"

"Fine, just picking up a pizza for me and Lily. I promised her she could have it tonight." She explains and looks awkwardly at Robert and Gianni.

"Oh, God, where are my manners? This is my brother Robert and my friend Gianni." Ray says introducing everyone.

"Well, I better get going. The sitter probably wants to get home." She smiles the same smile that lifted Ray's spirits.

"Okay, well, I guess I will see you when I pick Ally up on Saturday." He says.

"Oh, yeah. Well, it was nice to meet you fellas." She says and heads for the door.

Ray watches until she is out the door.

"Why didn't yo ask her out?" Gianni pries.

"I'm not gonna do that in front of you two. Besides I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't." Ray reasons.

"Why shouldn't you? You obviously like her." Robert says.

"Well, it's not just me. I don't know if the kids are ready for me to date. It hasn't been that long." Ray explains.

"You can talk to them about it. They might be okay with it." Gianni says.

"Look, I'll handle this," Ray says, 'Let's just order.
