Hazel blushed for a few seconds.
I didn’t.
I didn’t try any moves either.
There was no morning sex after a one-night hookup.
Last night was last night.
If the morning headed in a certain direction, that was one thing.
But Hazel clutched the covers up to her chin.
“This is the part where you tell me exactly what you want to have happen,” I whispered. “No cliché bullshit, okay?”
“You’re really this honest all the time, Atlas?”
“I’ve got nothing to hide here, love. I put it on the table. Why bother, right?”
“Okay. You should get out of bed and let me get dressed. Then I think I’ll get a ride home. Handshake and goodbye?”
“No coffee or breakfast?”
“I can get that on the ride home.”
“Sounds fair to me,” I said. “Naked handshake or a fully clothed handshake?”
“It’s not last night, Atlas. We’re different people now.”
I smiled. “Well, Hazel, last night was definitely the most unique date I ever went on.”
“Same.”
“So I guess we’ll always remember each other,” I said.
“Maybe.”
I got out of my bed, grabbed my jeans off the floor and left Hazel alone to get dressed.
For a second, I thought maybe I’d offer her some tickets to a game. If she wanted to see me again.
But that kind of felt like prostitution.
So I kept my mouth shut.
There was probably no need to ever see Hazel again.

“Holy crap, I’m pregnant.”
Those four words spilled from my mouth as I stared down at the pregnancy test as it balanced on the bathroom sink.
I still had my panties down around my ankles for some reason.
