“What are we, chicks? Google it,” he says.
“Why are you so grumpy?” I ask.
He gives me a wry smile. “Pregnancy hormones. She’s wearing me out, if you know what I mean. I need my sleep.”

“Touche.”

“What?” she snaps for an answer.
I purse my lips. Ooh, she’s pissed.
“Come over. Please,” I beg. “Or I can come to you.”
She pauses for so long that I wonder if we’re still connected. I hear her breathing—likely fuming—but I wait, putting on my blinker to get onto the freeway.
“Come to me and bring food.” Then, she hangs up.
That, I can do.
