“Matthew called this morning to let me know that he’s in the process of getting a line of credit in order to give me the money for my half of the condo.”

“That’s good.” I pass over her soup and sandwich.

“I’ll believe it when I have the check in my hand.” She sighs, then adds, “I’m giving him until the end of the month, and then I’m talking to Phillip.” She places her food on the counter and continues talking softly. “I just want to be settled somewhere before I’m too far along. I don’t want to have to rush setting up a nursery or getting ready for the baby.” She looks at me and smiles. “Are you okay?”

“I’m good.” I’m only a little lightheaded, thinking about how quickly December is going to be here. In just a few months, she will be showing, and then after that, the baby will be here, and we will be parents. I still don’t think I’ve fully wrapped my head around that.

“Sure you are, big guy.” She laughs softly and then looks around. “We can eat at the table. Normally, when Molly’s here, we drag my TV out. We can do that if you want to watch something while we eat.”

“That’s fine. Tomorrow, if you want, you can come up to my place for dinner.”

“I actually have dinner plans tomorrow.” She tips her head to the side. “But I’m free Saturday.”

“Saturday works.”

Dragging her bottom lip through her teeth, she nods, then asks, “Do you want a drink? I have water, sparkling water, wine, and I think I might have a beer somewhere in the fridge.”

“Just water, but I can get it and whatever you’re drinking.”

“I’ll have water too. There’s a jug in the fridge.” Since her glasses are out in the open, I grab two of them, then open the fridge and take out the filtering pitcher. I pour each of us a glass while she disappears behind a stack of boxes. When she comes out a minute later, she’s rolling what looks like a giant iPad on a stand, with an extension cord dragging behind it.

“So, how’s that thing with Billy’s assistant going?” she asks as I carry our drinks to the table.

“She hasn’t been at work.”

“She hasn’t?”

“Monday, Billy had a meeting and addressed the story from the news, then told everyone that she and I are dating. She’s called out every day since then.”

Her nose scrunches. “That had to be embarrassing.”

“She made her bed.” I shrug, going back to the kitchen to get our food.
