“You drink this crap?”
“It’s coffee,” I said.
“This is not coffee. You need a better setup in here. A good coffee station. To get properly caffeinated.”
I tilted my head.
“You’re still mad at me?” Hannah asked.
“It has been two full days since you screwed me over!”
“I didn’t screw anything. It was pure luck that you even won. I thought I would throw your name into it and tell you later. But look what happened. You won! This is amazing.”
“What is amazing? You didn’t meet him. Atlas. He’s not a nice guy.”
“So?”
“Right. I have to force myself to go out with this guy. All for show. Wow. That’s exciting.”
“It’s better than sitting around this place.”
“You know, Hannah, people grieve in their own way.”
“Are you grieving right now?”
“Of course I am. I have to make decisions about this house. I have to clean it up. Clean it out. I have a lot on my mind.”
“So you get a night out to get it off your mind,” Hannah said. “You need it. You can’t even argue that. Now, can we change the subject and talk about what you’re wearing right now?”
“These are pajamas,” I said. “I’ll dress myself when the time comes.”
“A nice dress? Low cut? Show off some skin? You know, if you leave your hair down, the ends will gently touch the tops of your boobs. Gets their attention.”
“I don’t think a guy needs any help with attention when it comes to breasts,” I said.
“You never know. Maybe Atlas is going to be a gentleman about it.”
“He doesn’t want this,” I said. “Neither do I. This is a joke. It’s stupid, Hannah. Totally stupid.”
“Fine,” she said. “Stupid. But it’s a night out. For fun. For free. You’re welcome.”
“You know, I’m kind of mad at you about this, Hannah.”
“I figured. Now can you go get changed? Show me what you’re wearing out on your date?”
“I need to shower and all that first.”
“All that?” Hannah grinned. “Need to clean up the garden for Atlas?”
I snorted. “Gates are closed. Flowers aren’t bloomed.”
“I doubt that,” Hannah said. “You’re a sucker for men who are as tall as he is.”
“Shut up, Hannah,” I snapped.
She laughed at me.
I rolled my eyes and went upstairs to the bathroom to shower.
