“Oh, my God, look at that guy.”

When Willow’s finger darts in front of my face, I bat her arm away and discreetly lean back on my bar stool to scope out whoever that guy is. My sister’s not one for subtlety, that’s for sure, which I guess isn’t a bad thing since we’ve skipped the Golden Fleece and opted for a night out in Bar Harbor, which is only a twenty-minute drive up the road from London.

The good thing about Bar Harbor?

Everyone’s a stranger.

Since walking into The Red Ruby thirty minutes ago, I haven’t recognized a single face. There’s certainly something to be said for not having to play the Coach card tonight or the Levi card or any card, really, besides tossing back a drink or two and enjoying the evening for what it is. Freedom.

I’m grateful for having a night out with my sister where I can just relax.

Willow smacks my arm, hissing, “He’s leaving!”

I sip my vodka and cranberry. No Guinness for me tonight. I learned that mistake very well the last time. “That’s what patrons do, Wills. They grab a cocktail, stay awhile, then leave when they’re ready to go home.”

“I’m going to get his number.”

I choke back a laugh. “You’re obsessive.”

“And you’re sexually frustrated,” Willow counters with full-on sass. Momentarily forgetting about her target, she sips her cocktail and stares at me unerringly. “I still can’t believe you went swimming with Dominic and didn’t even get the D. I’m telling you, it’s a travesty. Even I feel disappointed—I can only imagine how neglected your vagina must feel.”

“Keep your voice down,” I frantically whisper, shooting a glance to my left. A relieved sigh works its way up and out of my system when it’s clear that no one has taken a seat beside me. All the points go to Bar Harbor, of which I know zero people. “I regret telling you anything.”

“Liar. You so don’t.”

“I really, really do. Also, who uses the phrase get the D in their thirties?”

Willow tosses her hair over one shoulder, her lips pursed smugly. “Those of us who know what it feels like to get some dirty sex, dear sister. If you just”—here she makes an obscene hand gesture that honestly terrifies me—“let your reservations go, you’d probably have a good time together.”

Since that single kiss at London High a few days ago, Dominic has kept our physicality on lockdown.

And I get it—I really, really do.

We work together. Technically, I’m his boss. It’s unlikely that he’s here in town for the long haul, and there’s also the matter of Topher . . .

I’ll never do to my son what his father has accomplished in the year that we’ve been divorced. Rick totes around new women like they’re fashion accessories. He calls Topher while he’s on his way home from a date—in other words, when he’s with his date. He only wants to video chat when he has “company” over because, as he puts it, “Don’t you want to meet my new
