Chapter Sixteen

RUTH

A few seconds later, the waiter arrived with the giant sushi platter, placing it in the center of the table, then glancing back toward the door. “Your gentleman friend left?”

I nodded. “There’s been a change of plans.”

He gestured to Nick. “He will join you?”

I shook my head and flared my nostrils. “He is going back to his own table.”

“Yes, I am.” Nick walked behind me and sat down.

I pointed to the sushi. “Could you do me a big favor and wrap this up to go?”

The waiter bowed. “Of course, ma’am.”

“Oh . . . just one second.” I opened my purse, pulling out a credit card and handing it to the waiter. “Here you go.”

“Not a problem at all.” The waiter walked away with the platter of sushi and my credit card.

I sat there, shaking my head in disbelief, still thinking about what had just happened.

Luckily, Nick was smart and being quiet.

I pulled my phone from my purse and sent Dee a text.

Ruth: Did you eat yet?

Dee: Please don’t tell me your date is over.

Ruth: It is. And let it be known that this is the day that Nick is going to die. I have sushi I’m taking to go. Do you want to eat with me?

Dee: Whoa. Backup. What did Nick do this time? And why are you talking about him when you should be talking about Edward?

Ruth: Edward and Nick met at the restaurant.

Dee: Huh? Why do all your men run into each other?

Ruth: Because obviously my dating life is cursed.

Dee: Or it’s a sign. But remember, you can’t kill Nick, because if you do, you will effectively kill my love life! Hey, I have an idea and it’s something you’re really good at. What about just giving Nick a wedgie?

Ruth: Not funny.

Dee: Then why am I dying of laughter over here? Anyway, don’t worry about Edward because you’re going to meet the man of your dreams this evening.

Ruth: I told you, no dinner dates. It’s lunch first, and then if they’re worth my time, they can have a second date over dinner.

Dee: It’s not a date with a specific man. It’s speed dating.

Ruth: No, no, no, no. I’ve heard about speed dating and I’m not interested. Besides, I told you Edward was your last shot and now I’m going to find a man my way.

Dee: You said TODAY was my last shot and the day isn’t over yet. The speed dating is happening TODAY! And this is not your usual speed dating. The men have been prescreened, are all over 40 years old, and all are successful business professionals. You can meet up to 20 guys. That’s 20 dates in less than an hour!”

Ruth: Whoop-di-doo.

Dee: I prefer whoop-di-DEE, thank you very much. Anyway, the way you’re going about it now, 20 dates would take 20 days. I just thought this would be much more productive. One of those guys has got to be a keeper. Plus, it’s being held downtown, and you need to go over there to meet the CEO of Caltonic Industries at four thirty.
