When dinner was over and the plates had been cleared, I felt happy and spent. What an evening it had been with my closest friends—and with my new friend Iris Masterson—not to mention with my fantastic boyfriend, who had held my hand beneath the table during those moments when we weren’t eating.

Marco Boss and Kevin were never mentioned, so the mood was kept high and light, especially after Blackwell and Iris’ unexpected hijinks. I was finally able to catch up with Jennifer—we talked of her time in Singapore, the movie deal, what it was like to work with Iris, how she couldn’t wait to read the newly edited book, and how much she and Alex were looking forward to joining us at the Wenn Publishing party.

“We’ll all go together,” she said.

“Done,” I said. “And potentially fun.”

“I’ll be staying with Alex again tonight. Send me the manuscript tonight via email. I’ll read it straight away.”

“You’re practically living together at this point.”

“I thought you needed to be alone so you could finish your book. You didn’t need me lurking around to distract you. After tonight, if you want, I plan on spending the rest of the week at the apartment with you.” Her eyes met mine. “After all, we do have a lot to catch up on….”

That was code for “We totally need to talk about Alex and me, you and Tank, and everything in between.”

“Agreed,” I said. “I’ve missed you.”

“So, tonight, I’ll be with Alex. And, you know, you might be with someone else.”

“I think we’re being set up, Tank,” Alex said.

“I can deal with being set up like that,” he said.

Alex nodded at him. “Same here.” He turned to Jennifer and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek just as our waiter approached the table with a martini on a round tray.

“Final cocktail for the lady?” he said to me.

I hadn’t ordered it, but I wouldn’t have put it past Jennifer to order one for me. I looked around the table. “Are one of you trying to get me drunk?” I said. “I’m only drinking it if the rest of you have another one with me. Otherwise, no way.”

The waiter smiled at me. “It’s actually from an admirer, Ms. Ward. He purchased the martini and asked me to bring it and this envelope to you at the end of the evening.”

Blackwell rubbed her hands together. “My plan is working. People are starting to recognize her.”

“Where is he?” I asked.

The waiter placed the martini down in front of me and handed me the envelope, which wasn’t sealed. Inside was a piece of paper. “Actually, he left some time ago.”

Tank held out his hand for the envelope. I gave it to him, and then he moved the martini out of my reach. “Where was this gentleman sitting?” he asked the waiter.

“He didn’t dine here tonight,” the waiter said. “Not long after you and Ms. Ward entered the restaurant and were seated, he came in. He paid for the drink, and asked me to wait until you were about to leave before I delivered it and the envelope to Ms.
