Chapter 38 What's His Name?
Anne glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already 2:30 AM.
Her parents were probably fast asleep by now, and she didn't want to worry them by making a late-night trip to the police station.
After wrestling with her thoughts for a moment, she decided
to call her husband, Dante.
The phone rang a few times before he picked up. The background noise was chaotic, filled with the sounds of laughter and clinking glasses as if he were at a poker game. Anne could even hear a woman's voice in the mix. "What's up?" Dante's tone was flat, lacking any warmth.
Anne skipped the pleasantries, her voice icy. "Come pick me up at the police station."
There was a brief pause, and then Dante's voice, laced with sarcasm, cut through the noise.
"In trouble, huh? You've really outdone yourself this time,
Anne."

She bit her lip, sensing his impatience.
She thought, frustration bubbling up inside her, "What am I doing, calling him?"

favor?"
"Give me a kid."
Anne was momentarily speechless.
