Jasmine

I stand outside the vibrant salsa club in downtown Miami, eagerly waiting for my friends to arrive. Tonight is about fun, and only fun. There’s no crime fighting, no chasing stories, no medical traumas, and no memory loss. I hear the music thumping and the rhythmic beats of Latin tunes emanating from inside. The tantalizing aroma of delicious Cuban food is also wafting through the air, making my stomach grumble, reminding me I haven’t eaten since early this morning.

It seems like forever, but soon Ember walks up with Mora and Phillip, and then I see Hunter jogging down the street toward us. Everyone looks happy to be out. I love Ember with her dark, exotic looks and mile-long legs. Mora is a short, beautiful, spicy spitfire. Her confidence makes me stronger. She’s so dang strong and smart. Phillip is a perfect partner for her, protective, but not overly so.

It’s Hunter who has all of my attention, though. He’s strong, doesn’t speak too much when the girls are together, and has so much compassion and love for his friends that he’s a true joy to be with. His swagger has heads turning, and I take pride in knowing he’s mine.

“Jasmine, this is a perfect idea,” Ember exclaims as she throws her arms around me, and gives me a hug. “I only get to be here for a few days before I have to get back to my story, but I can’t stand being on opposite sides of the country from each other any longer.”

I hug her back. “I know what you mean. I’m not sure where I’m going to be next week, but this feels like home right now. I’m healing, and it’s all good.”

“Yes, it is. Philip and I need to get back to Africa, but we couldn’t do that without spending some much-needed time with you,” Mora says.

“Going out and dancing have been the highlights of my time in Miami. I’m so glad you guys are here,” I tell them. Clubbing without my friends wouldn’t be the same.

We enter the club, the atmosphere enveloping us with its warmth and soft lighting. The room’s adorned with colorful decorations and packed with people swaying and twirling on the dance floor or sitting around tables, talking, laughing, and drinking. We move through the crowd to the VIP section and are quickly let in. It’s not much quieter, but at least we can sit and drink, and definitely eat without having to wait too long.

We settle in and the waitress immediately appears and takes our order. We soon each have a glass in our hands and hold them up.

“Cheers to a night of fun, laughter, dancing, and forgetting all about any troubles we might think we have,” Mora says. We clink our glasses together as we shout out our cheers.

Ember leans back in her chair, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Okay, Jazz, have you taken down any criminals in the last few days. I haven’t seen you on the local news lately.
