“We went out the night before, remember?”
The only reason I remember is the hangover on the plane the next day, and I threw up three times in the bathroom from turbulence.
“You really expect me to remember that?”Decker asks.
“I hooked up with a woman that night.”I tap the tip of my pen to the paper.
He leans in closer and looks at what I’ve been writing.“What are you doing?”
“It’s a list of possibilities of who Tanner’s mom could be.”
His eyebrows shoot up, and he nudges Hayes with his foot.
Hayes’s eyes pop open and he takes out his earbuds.“What?”
“Kodiak’s making a potential mom list.”
I give Decker a dirty look.“I wasn’t really being inclusive with this.”
Hayes elbows Foster, who pulls out his earbuds.
“What?”He looks between the three of us.
“Kodiak’s on a mission to find his baby’s mother.”Hayes leans forward.“You really think you have a chance to figure this out?”
“I don’t need your negativity.Go back to sleep.”I wave at him.
“Nah, I need more excitement in my life.”He rolls his eyes.“So who do you have as potential candidates?”
Foster snatches the list from my hand.
“Whoa, this isn’t fourth grade, and you’re taking the note I was writing to a girl.”
He only laughs, reads it over, and hands it back to me.“I don’t thinkredhead at the club before Cabois much of a lead.”
“That’s what you have?”Hayes raises an eyebrow.
“Don’t worry, there’s also the girl from the Falcons game.”
Foster shares a look with Hayes.They both look judgy as fuck.
“You can’t judge me.It would be the same if you had to figure out who the mom of your kid was.”
“Leighton.Easy,” Hayes deadpans.
“And I know exactly when I got Callie pregnant,” Foster says.
Hayes groans at his comment but says nothing.
“I mean before Leighton and Callie came along.”I’m annoyed that I have to defend myself but equally embarrassed and ashamed because it is a tad disturbing that I can’t remember any names.
“Why do you want to find her?”Decker asks, always the more reasonable one.
Hayes shrugs.“You have Hadley.”
“For a year,” I whisper.“And I want Tanner to have a mom in his life.”
“Hadley could be his mom.”Foster gives me a look I take as a challenge.
