Chapter Sixteen

Ryan was in the kitchen, going through the motions of cleaning everything after the last cast lunch they would be serving for the movie people. He was grateful that he didn’t have dinner service tonight. Jude was still barely talking to him. She was friendly, but still a bit distant.

Even Lindsey noticed. “What did you guys break up?”

He didn’t know what to say to her. “Not exactly.”

Lindsey shrugged. “Whatever.”

He felt trapped, trapped in secrets he was still keeping, trapped by that woman who would not leave him alone. She’d been texting him all morning and he hadn’t even give her his cell phone number. There was no end to her sweet charm alternating with threats in each message. Just what did she want?

“Meet me for dinner or else.”

Or else what? “What is that suppose to mean?” he texted back.

“I don’t think you want it to show on your phone. You know what I mean,” was her reply.

He did know what she meant. She, of all people, knew his shame and guilt for not insisting his buddy, Chef Andrew, go to the hospital that night at the restaurant, and how close he’d come to following in his friend’s drug habit himself. Peyton would happily share his private life with anyone who would listen.

“Dinner?”

He texted back, “I’m not hungry.”

“How about just a drink then?” She texted a wink after the message.

“A short one,” he answered.

Her last message said, “Meet me at the Captain’s Cove. 7:00. I’ll be in the bar at the back of the restaurant.”

Did he dare ignore her? Perhaps one conversation face-to-face would put an end to this.
