I reached for Atlas with my right hand.
“Wait,” I said.
“Are you okay?”
“Let’s do it.”
“Do what?”
“Do you still have the envelope?”
“What envelope?”
“Atlas. The envelope… boy or girl.”
“Oh. Of course I have it. I have it back at my place.”
“Let’s do it. We should know. I mean, I want to know.”
I nodded.“Let’s find out if we’re having a boy or girl!”
Chapter Twenty-Nine
ATLAS
Hazel wantedto stop back at her house to take a shower.
She told me she wanted to shower alone.
That gave me time to plan a little bit of a surprise.
Of all the favors I had ever asked for in my life, this one was the wildest.
Henry laughed at me on the phone.
“You’re in way too deep now,” he said.
“Just… just fucking help me,” I said and hung up.
There was no booze in Hazel’s grandmother’s house except some wine.
Then again, I had to drive.
No drinking.
That meant patiently waiting for Hazel to get ready.
Another first for me.
Standing at the bottom of the stairs waiting for a woman to get ready.
Who am I becoming right now?
I rubbed my jaw and ran my hand through my hair.
Just as I felt my irritation start to cling to me, Hazel appeared at the top of the stairs.
Her hair wet.
