NOVEMBER

Me

How do you feel?

Evan

Who is this?

Me

Are there other people in your life who saw you throw up into a trash can under your desk today?

Evan

Cooper?

Me

Of course it’s me.

Evan

How did youget my number?

Me

You have it public on the law firm intranet.

Evan

Something I’ll be fixing as soon as I’m at work tomorrow.

Me

You do what you need to do Rhodes, but that doesn’t change the fact that I have it now. So, how are you feeling?

Evan

I’m fine.

Me

But are you really?

Evan

Fuck no, I’m not fine. I’m fucking pregnant. With your baby.

Me

I think I remember you telling me something about that.

Evan

You’re joking with me right now?

Me
