Relieved I left my cell on the kitchen island last night and not on the nightstand, I pull up a new browser and start researching the best burping techniques when a text from Archer grabs my attention.

Archer

For reasons I’m not willing to discuss, I will be driving past your place on the way to morning skate. Do you want a ride?

Me

It’s not even light outside. Why are you up?

Archer

I said that I didn’t want to discuss it.

Me

How about you share with me the best way to burp a baby, and I’ll stop asking you why you’re going to be passing by my place later?

Archer

You’re banging Billie, aren’t you?

Me

For reasons I’m not willing to discuss … yes. Yes, I am. Keep your lips firmly sealed.

Archer

I am nothing if not a vault.

Me

Remember the time I temporarily split with Maria a couple of seasons back and you tried to set me up with Jenna?

Archer

Fair point. I got carried away and ran my mouth.

Me

Precisely. Don’t do it again.

Archer

I’ll send you a screenshot of the page in the baby book I used when Emily was born. It really helped me perfect feeding and burping techniques.

*screenshot attached*

Me

Thank you.

Archer

I’ll assume you don’t need a ride since you’ll be banging Billie one final time before racing back to your place to get changed.

Me

Got it in one.
