Chapter 22: The Numbers
"It's nothing," Jonas said, and reached past him, and pushed the drawer shut on the box.
Cooper looked at him for a long second.
"That's a ring box."
"It's a box," Jonas said.
"Brannen."
"It's not time." Jonas pulled the quilt up over both of them and tried to look like a man with no secrets. "I have a plan, Coop. Let me have my plan."
"You have a plan."
"I have a very good plan. It has the ocean in it."
Cooper's face went through four expressions in a second and landed on one Jonas had never seen, soft and wide open and almost shy.
"Okay," he said.
"Okay?"
"I can wait. I'm good at waiting now. I've got decades."
He settled back against Jonas's shoulder, carefully, mindful of the stitches.
Jonas lay in the dusk and listened to him breathe and thought: that is the sound of a man with two working kidneys.
It was the best sound in the world.
