“I’m coming!” I called out. I looked through the peep hole to make sure it was Milk. “Hey,” I said, after opening the door to let him in.

“What’s up?” He walked inside with his daughter draped over his shoulder as she was asleep. I called Milk and told him to bring her to my momma’s house so that I could braid up her hair, but I guess that’s not going to happen tonight. “Where you want me to put her?” he asked as he closed the front door.

“You can lay her down in my momma’s bed,” I told him.

“How Ms. Janis doing?” he asked, after returning to the living room.

“She’s doing a lot better. They moved her to a step-down room today.”

“I been meaning to get back up there to see her, but you know . . .” Milk has always had a thing about hospitals every since his momma and daddy died when he was younger. I was surprised that he stayed at the hospital as long as he did the day my momma was admitted. “Tell her I’ve been thinking about her though,” he said, sitting down.

“I will.” I sat down in a single chair across from him.

“Oh shit, here.” He stood up and went into his pant’s pocket. “I been meaning to give this to you but it slipped my mind every time I saw you.”

Milk handed me the ring he had given to me right before we broke up. I tried to give it back that day we met in the park when told him I was leaving, but he wouldn’t take it. I don’t have to guess how it got out of my jewelry box in Georgia and found its way to Virginia. Saysha!

“I’mma’ beat her butt. You found this in her bag didn’t you?”

“It’s a long story, but I think Mj must’ve found it in her stuff or somewhere in her room. I told her you was gon’ get her.” He started to laugh while still standing over top of me.

“She’s always rambling through my shit.” I shook my head.

“So, whatchu’ want to do for Saysha birthday?” he asked as he sat down. “Sabrina?”

I heard what he said but I was too busy reliving the night he put the ring on my finger in my mind.

“Oh, um . . . I don’t know yet.” I shrugged my shoulders. “I hadn’t even thought about it to be honest.” I sat the ring down on the table.

“I know there’s a lot going on right now but we still have to do something for her or neither one of us will never hear the end of it,” he said.

“I know.” I laughed slightly. “I’ll talk to her and see what she wants to do for her birthday.”

“She told me that she wanted to have a birthday party.”

“I figured that,” I sighed.

“We can have a party for her at my house,” Milk suggested.

“At your house?” I wrinkled up my nose at him.

“What’s wrong with having a party at my house?” he asked.
