I slipped into Pearl’s rental apartment—I still hadn’t handed over my set of keys. Daisy and Amy and Pearl would probably, I deduced, be asleep by now, and I didn’t want to wake anyone. But Pearl was wide-awake, a tub of ice cream in one hand and one of Amy’s toy cowboy pistols in the other. I fell in love with her all over again. It was proof that we had to be together; that we were soul mates. Both wielding toy guns in the same night?

It was a fait accompli.

She was standing there in her pajama bottoms, her tits voluptuous, her nipples erect in her little tank. But sex was no longer on my mind. I was too broken up that night.

“Why are you doing this Alexandre? Why are you here? Back to torture me?”

“Love the toy gun,” I said with a faint smile. “You and I have more in common than you think, baby.” But it wasn’t funny anymore. I crumpled to the ground, my resilience in fragments, my barriers gone. A tear plopped onto the floor, landing on the slush of snow pooled next to my big black boots. “I can’t stand this anymore, Pearl. I really can’t.” I looked up at her like a puppy waiting for a clue from his mistress. I had no answers. I needed help.

This was the moment in time when everything froze like a snowflake floating in midair; unique and perfect. I gave in to Pearl. Completely. I threw myself into the arms of Fate. If God gave a fuck, he’d sort this Laura shit out for us, but nothing was now going to stand in the way of the goddamn truth, my mother included.

I took Pearl home, just as she was, in her pajamas. We didn’t make love but we did make promises. I told her everything—each tiny, gruesome detail, leaving nothing unsaid. She embraced my truth, swore she’d stand by my side, no matter what. We were a team, she said, and nothing could break that.

Recounting how my mom murdered my father in the bathtub, by throwing a live electric heater into the water, somehow alleviated me of the black weight I had been heaving over my shoulder for so many years. Just saying the words made me a free man.

I kissed Pearl’s knuckles on her ringed hand and said—the diamond glittering in my eyes as I spoke—“Pearl, I know you and I know myself. If we don’t spend the rest of our days together we won’t be truly happy. We’ll go around half dead. Without you, my flame is snuffed out. Without you, I am only half a man. Without you, my life will be running on empty.” Maybe I sounded like a cliché—an actor speaking his lines—but it was unrehearsed and how I truly felt.

I came clean with Pearl that night. I revealed all to her. My past. My mother. The lot. And then Pearl told me her big secret. The best damn secret known to man.

She was pregnant with my child.
