“I will. You do the same.”

“Yeah.”

“And put Hannah on when she wakes up.”

“I will.”

The line goes dead.

I’m still looking at the phone when a voice comes from behind me.

“So.”

I turn.

Hannah stands at the end of the hallway wrapped in my sheet, curls wild around her shoulders.

“How much did you hear?”

“Mostly your side.”

Her eyes narrow.

“But considering your side included ‘I slept with her,’ context clues did the rest.”

“He called.”

“I gathered.”

She walks toward me, keeping the sheet gathered against her chest.

“Is he okay?”

“Yeah. He was on a mission. Just got back.”

Relief moves across her face.

“He heard my messages?”

“This morning.”

“Oh, thank God.”

“He knows everything now. He’s looking into the numbers that contacted you.”

Her shoulders loosen.

Then she looks at me.

“And you told him about us.”

“Yeah.”

Her eyes close.

“You told my brother we had sex.”
