James immediately blocked him, recognizing the scam for what it was. He cursed at the wasted time. And he paid well to be a member of that damned premium website. In a fit of anger, he closed the membership, demanding a refund.

He stormed to his kitchen and poured a whiskey, drank it, and poured another. When the hell would he have another relationship? When would he be happy again? When would he get laid again? No, when would heget to make love? He had several more drinks, and then decided he needed to work out. He went to the garage, got in his car, and opened the garage door. Backing out, he came inches from hitting a delivery truck behind him.

Kenji was there, talking to the driver. Kenji went to James. “Clearly, you weren’t looking.”

“Sorry.”

“Ah, drunk again. If you drive, I’m calling the police.” He took out his cell phone.

James cried out, “I’m not fucking drunk.”

“You are clearly intoxicated, and that’s the issue. Go back in, or I’ll place you under citizen’s arrest.”
