    Summary

    Beth decides to drop the bomb on Rio -- and neither of them is prepared for the reaction.

    =====
    "You couldn afford it."

    An that makes me think about how much I would pay for her. I take her in, from the bar, up her chest, to her face. Thinkin bout her worth to me – as a partner, as a babymama, as the only thing I’ve wanted in a long time – an realizin I ain’t ready to pay out on this.

    Losin the baby an her in the space of five minutes is just too much for my brain to compute. There’s no value I can place on it.

    An then like a ray of light the same color as her hair, she asks what would happen if she had the cash.

    I look at the bartender wiping down glasses tryin to not hear our conversation. When he makes eye contact, I say, “You’re closed.”
