"I know that!" Thomas snapped, his face dark. "Tomorrow, I'll ask him how much money he has left and find a way to come up with the rest."

"What?" Monica's eyes widened. "No way! You shouldn't even have to deal with this shit! I'll talk to Dad and blame everything on Yvonne–"

"Enough! Things are messy enough as they are."
