I look at her through laced fingers.
"Just kidding," she says gently. "The ovaries."
I let out a tiny laugh, and Paige hugs me closer.”

“He's changed out of his school clothes and is wearing a pair of khakis and a plaid dress shirt unbuttoned over a white tee. His hair is clipped short on the sides, with the longer top swept up and back like a '50s greaser. I guess that's what passes for dressing down when you're rich.”
