UNKNOWN: It’s a big sea to leave your guppy all alone in.

Three pictures came in one after the next, all of them of Ash. Alone. Standing in the parking lot. Talking on the phone.

He’d been there.

Watching her.

My skin heated. That son of a bass was going to pay.

TWENTY-NINE – ASH – June 1 – 1:24 p.m.

The car sputtered and Fin cursed under his breath as he drove me home from school. Ever since yesterday, he’d been quiet — deathly quiet.

“You okay?” I asked.

“Fine.”

I bit my lip and decided to drop it. I figured he blamed me for what happened with the fiasco yesterday, and he’d been tightlipped about what he found out in Reno.

I marked an X over another day in my planner. Only one more and I’d be finished. Officially an adult. Oddly, I thought I’d be happier about it.

“So, I heard about your secret bachelor party.”

He turned to me, baby blues hidden under sunglasses. “What bachelor party?”

I turned up the side of my lip. “The one Jax and Jacob are not so subtly planning.”

Georgia had already gotten wind of it and wanted to crash it, that was until she couldn’t find Natatoria in a Google search. She then redirected her energies into planning a bachelorette party for me. Any other time, I’d be all for it. But with our little one coming, the idea of putting on a slinky dress and high heels made me tired. Besides, without persuasion, no clubs would be open in the middle of the afternoon.

“They want to go out one night this week. Blow off steam.” He side glanced at me. “But I said no.”

I dipped my head. Not leave my side was more like it. “Is this a plot to get permission?”

“What?” He wrinkled up his brow. “No, never.”

I gave him the stink eye. “Because there’s a stripper?”

“What?” He pulled a face. “No. Never!”

I could think of a few mermaids in Natatoria who’d love to entertain them with a wag of their tail and a dash of pheromones, but I was just relieved we were talking again.

“Then what are you going to do?”

He leaned back in his seat. “Badge thought we’d chase dolphins, or do some deep sea fishing. You know. Mer against mer competition stuff.” He pulled up to the house and parked. “I don’t have to go.”

“You’re the groom. Why wouldn’t you go?” I smiled.

“Are you really saying yes? Or just saying yes to make me happy? Because there is the matter of…”

He let the words hang there, like a disease. Mr. White Van was in the middle of everything now — every move, every conversation, every decision. I hated him.

“Look… now that we have our new pool, I can stay there.” I perched a brow.

He gave me a sultry look. “How can I trust that you won’t snoop?”

“With the same trust I’m giving you that you won’t be entertained by a tail wagging stripper.”

He clenched his jaw, his face growing serious. “I’m not saying this because I don’t trust you.
