The sushi was half-price during happy hour at Blowfish. I’m usually always leery of discounted sushi, but Blowfish was the best on the island. It was an upscale joint. The stunning waitresses wore skintight bodysuits with low-cut necklines and fishnet leggings.

“Are you sure it’s safe to eat here?” I asked.

I wasn’t asking because I had concerns about the quality. The last time we were here, JD hooked up with one of the waitresses. Depending on how he left things, there was a possibility our food could be contaminated.

“Would you relax? There is no cause for alarm.” Then he caught a glimpse of the waitress across the restaurant. “Oh shit. Keep your head down. It’s Kaylee.”

I grumbled under my breath. “She’s going to spit on our food.”

“Nonsense. We’re sitting at the bar. We can see it from beginning to end.”

Kaylee strolled past us and put a hand on JD’s shoulder. “The 80s called. They want their hair back.”

I tried not to spit out my beer as she sauntered away. “So, I’m guessing that ended well?”

Jack’s eyes narrowed at me. “She’s just being playful.”

I didn’t buy it for a minute.

We ordered the salmon, a spicy tuna roll, a California roll, a few pieces of eel, a couple of Kiran Lights, and a bottle of sake. Fortunately, JD’s jilted lover didn’t serve us. But I was pretty sure she had complained about him to all her waitress friends.

“How’s Scarlett doing?” I asked.

“Don’t quote me on it, but I think she dumped that Justin guy.”

“Good.”

“I don’t know what’s come over her lately, but she seems to be mellowing out a bit.”

“Maybe she’s maturing.”

JD scoffed.

I felt bad about keeping a secret from him, but it seemed like there was no need to rehash the situation—as long as Scarlett was staying on the straight and narrow.

“Look, I’ll make sure your boat gets back into as new condition,” I said. “Don’t worry about it. Whatever insurance doesn’t pay for, I will.”

“I appreciate that, buddy. I’m not worried about it. But it’s nice that you offered.”

Our meal was perfect. The fish tasted like it had been pulled out of the ocean this morning. Fresh and clean. The only other place where I’d had sushi this good was in Japan.

“I’m going to meet Belinda and her friends later. Do you want to come along?”

“I think I’ve got enough relationship drama at the moment.” I pulled out my phone and texted Aria again, trying to get a response.

This time she replied:

[ I’m back in New York. I’m not ignoring you. I just don’t want to talk about it right now. No need to keep texting me.]

My brow lifted with surprise. I couldn’t help but feel like I had been punched in the stomach. I showed the message to JD. “I guess she told me.”

“Move on. There’s nothing to see here. If it’s meant to be, it’ll be. If it’s not, you’ll find someone else in no time.”

“Yeah, but I liked her.”

“Well, you shouldn’t have banged the FBI agent.”

I scowled at him.
