I turned to the security guard. “Sir, please can we step outside to avoid disrupting the other diners further? I’ll make a call for someone to come and settle the bill.”

“Adam, what the heck did you do? Stewart can’t pay the bill! It’s huge. You said he was good for it. How could you do this to me?”

He chuckled. “Relax, Jess. Just spicing up your life a bit. Use your card if you have to.”

“Are you kidding me? Get down here and fix this mess. Now.”

“Alright, alright. Don’t blow a gasket. I’m on my way,” he said, still laughing.

I hung up, seething. “He’s coming. Let’s wait.”
