Chapter Fifteen

WYATT HATED LEAVING Cricket at the hospital, but it was necessary. Sabrina had closed for him two nights in a row, and she deserved her day off. Luckily, she’d been showing Tiffy the ropes. She was a responsible kid and would end up being valuable down the road, but Wyatt wasn’t sure she was ready to handle things by herself. Sabrina thought she could, but he’d have to give it more thought. She wasn’t scheduled until four.

It was just two o’clock when he opened the bar, and it didn’t surprise him at all that no customers were waiting. Monday was notoriously slow, and now that the reunion and the golf tournament were over, he doubted things would pick up until later in the evening.

After making sure his cell phone had enough juice in case Skip or Cricket called, he took the chairs off the tables, his thoughts staying on her and Ronny. Vertigo could be a messy problem. He’d known good men that had washed out of the service because of it.

“Hey, boss.” Viv and Lila walked in together, both of them with energy drinks in hand, but it was Lila who’d spoken. “You been enjoying your time off?”

“Yep,” he said with a brief nod. “I want to get as much set up as we can before customers start rolling in, and I don’t want to skip the inventory of the bottles that are out. I know some are low and need replacing.”

“Sure thing,” Viv said. “We’ll just go stash our purses and get to it. I brought an extra Red Bull with me, if you need one.”

“I’m good, thanks.”

He finished with the last few tables, took a quick look around to make sure no one had put anything in the potted plants. There was always somebody who stashed a glass or a condom or an empty bottle of beer. Sure enough, there was a martini glass, empty but for a toothpick, behind the fern. Maybe he ought to just buy a bunch of cactus plants.

The girls started putting away the glasses that had been washed the night before. He left them to it to go in the back and check over the stores he’d marked for reorder. He wouldn’t place the call until they were finished up front, but he already knew the order would be sizeable.

Something hard tripped up his left foot. A nail that had come up. Easy enough to hammer it down again, but it made him think about Ronny and his double slip at the dock. As soon as possible, he’d go down there with his toolbox, make sure there were no obvious hazards. Technically, the harbormaster was responsible for upkeep and repairs on the actual dock. Ronny only had his slip to worry about. But the dock was already wet and slick by the time the first boats went out, and a mess at the end of the evening. No need to add to the risks.

By the time he’d gone back up front, Viv was filling the beer tubs with ice, and taking notes as Lila checked bottles.
