It was crowded in your backyard after Price and Laswell threw you and your boyfriend, Simon, a baby shower after he told them the secret when asking for leave.

Simon wanted girl. He wore a pink polo that clung to his muscular frame and it spread a fire in you.

Simon had a glass of bourbon in one hand and the other splayed across your back as he held you close while Johnny spoke with you two. He was excited.

“She wants a lil girl, Johnny,” Simon said as he tugged you in.
