After a well-spent afternoon crafting the plan, JJ and I are on the Snapper, preparing for our mission. He had volunteered to dive, and after mulling it over for a couple of hours, I realized I just couldn't let him do this on his own.
"So..." I say, taking a deep breath, "I've been thinking..."
"Mmm..." JJ smirks, the corner of his mouth curling upward.
I shake my head, my lips tugging downward. "You can't dive without a buddy. It's not safe."
"Of course I can. I'm gonna do it."
"I'm going with." I say firmly, clapping my hands together. To be honest, I'm not sure I even believe my own words.
JJ stops what he's doing, his eyes narrowing as he raises an eyebrow. "You sure about that?"
"Yup."
"It's 80 feet down in the dark."
I snort, trying to mask my growing nerves. "So?"
"You can't even fall asleep without a night light on."
"I can do it."
"And then there's the whole moving through structures thing..."
"Stop trying to scare me," I warn, pointing a finger at him.
JJ raises his hands in surrender, a smirk playing at the edges of his mouth. "All I'm saying is that even for experts, it's a hairball situation, babe."
"Yeah, well, you're not a fucking expert."
"Neither are you."
"Yeah but I already decided, so... Period."
"Okay. Great. We'll be co parenting our one brain cell together underwater tonight." JJ raises his hand, waiting for a high five.
"Yeah," I nod, forcing a smile. I slap his hand with a resounding clap. "It'll be fun."
JJ doesn't let go of my hand. Instead, as our palms meet, he wraps his fingers around mine and pulls me closer. His lips brush my forehead, and I can feel the smile in his kiss.
"As fun as a colonoscopy," he jokes, voice light.
I roll my eyes, "You've never had a colonoscopy."
"I know. But I heard they're no fun."
I laugh, and just as I do, I spot John B and Blondie walking down the dock, hand in hand. They're followed by the rest of our friends. I nod toward them, and JJ turns to face the others.
