Evan

So, help her in the kitchen. You make bagels from scratch for fuck’s sake. I’m sure you can handle mashed potatoes.

Me

So…there’s this thing.

Evan

What thing?

Me

It’s going to sound super weird.

Evan

Weirder than you getting me pregnant after a one-night stand in a conference room?

Me

Maybe?

My family thinks I can’t cook.

Evan

Why do they think that?

Me

Because I made them think that.

Evan

When?

Me

About twenty-three years ago.

Evan

I need more information.

Me

It’s really a better story in person.

Evan

Tomorrow. First thing. My office. Bring bagels.

Me

Like a date?

Evan
