“You are worried an excessive amount of then.” I hop up and about. Truthfully, I can’t blame him for being a bit on edge—the start was not simple. It was a stable six hours, which isn’t too unhealthy, or so my physician tells me. She will have contractions and attempt to shove a child out for six freaking hours if she thinks it’s so freaking simple.

I hurry over to the closet and dig round till I discover the field I hid just a few days in the past. I had it despatched right here as a result of Saul opens every little thing that exhibits up the second it lands on the stoop whether or not it has his identify on it or not—the man’s obsessive about freaking packages.

“You actually bought me a gift?” he says, sounding amused. And honest sufficient, I don’t purchase him stuff fairly often. He’s a type of annoying individuals with an excessive amount of cash and excellent style, which suggests he has every little thing he needs.

“Effectively, I used your cash, so you bought your self a gift. You’re welcome? Additionally thanks?” I flip round and stroll over with it hidden behind my again. “It was type of costly, but it surely’s vital that I give it to you.”

“Now I’m very curious.” He sits up straight, amused by my silly antics. “Can I assume first?”

“Go forward, strive it.”

“The top of my enemies.”

I roll my eyes. “No. Too gory. And I don’t suppose I might purchase that on-line.”

“Good level. Okay, you bought me… lingerie?”

My lips pinch. “Sure, Saul, I bought you lingerie… and I count on you to put on it.”

“It higher be frilly and pink. I’ll look fucking good.”

A really bizarre thrill runs by means of my chest picturing him in nothing however a pair of frilly pink boxer briefs. I don’t know why I’m turned on proper now and it’s undoubtedly one thing I would like to analyze afterward.

“No, fool, will you simply let me provide the silly current?” I clear my throat as a result of I had this entire speech deliberate and he’s operating it. “Okay, pay attention up. You saved my life. Earlier than you, I felt like day-after-day was going to be my final. My each waking second was a nightmare of stress and fear. However then I met you, and I actually didn’t such as you at first despite the fact that the intercourse was good?—”

“It’s nonetheless good,” he says, interrupting.

“Sure, thanks, it’s nonetheless good. Will you let me have my second?” He mimes zipping his lips and I proceed. “However then you definitely confirmed me who you might be. Saul, you’re man, higher than I deserve, and I wish to stay as much as you day-after-day identical to you reside as much as me the very best you possibly can. And in that spirit, I wish to offer you this silly factor, and I hope you prefer it.”

I hand him the field.

It’s unwrapped. He stares, eyebrows raised excessive. It’s inexperienced, satin, like a elaborate high-end jewellery field. Besides there’s just one image on the surface: A easy golden crown.

“You bought me… a Rolex?” He flips open the lid. After which he will get it and bursts out laughing.

I grin proper together with him. “It’s the identical one I stole from you,” I inform him. “Effectively, not the very same one, however the identical variety, proper?”

“Proper,” he says, taking it out of the case and making an attempt it on. “How the hell did you work that out?”

“I checked out mainly one million footage of freaking watches till I acknowledged one. Did you understand how many various sorts of Rolexes there are?”

“One million,” he agrees, twisting his wrist. It’s a bit large and he’ll have to regulate it, however my coronary heart instantly swells.

“I needed to make amends and I figured, what higher means than to offer you again what I took away?”

“Child, I’d gladly allow you to steal all my fucking watches if it means we’d find yourself collectively, however I really like this. I adore it a lot, and I really like you.”

“I really like you too,” I say, satisfaction filling me over a job properly executed. His response is precisely what I needed, and I don’t thoughts one bit when he drags me towards him and kisses me.

Which lasts all of ten seconds earlier than the newborn begins crying.

“I’ll get it,” he says, transferring to stand up, however I push him again.

“No, you sit there and take a look at the watch and take into consideration how I’m such a terrific spouse, okay? I’ll handle Dante.”

“You actually are superb,” he says as I head to the door. “You understand that, proper?”

I look again at him and smile. “No shit. I’m the very best.”
