"That's absurd," Beth replied to the accusations of her cheating on Jack. What did this man know about her? Scarlet had found someone to speak what was on her mind but Scarlet would not win. "I would never cheat on Jack. I don't know who you are so you have no place to speak to me."

Ian would bet one of his good bottles of rum that one of the two before him were going to cheat on the other. He was leaning more toward Jack as it wouldn't be surprising if he grew tired of Beth.

Ian wouldn't count Beth out yet as she might leave Jack should another man with more status show her attention.

Jack didn't like the stranger more now that he was speaking to Beth. He had no place to speak to someone he didn't know.

Jack went back to looking at Scarlet who was standing behind the man, drinking the juice he thought she wouldn't enjoy.
