Two thousand! Why the hell did he want this book so much? Or maybe he just wanted to watch her squirm? He might not even have that much. Who had two thousand, just lying around?
Inhuman monsters who wanted to torment a teenage girl who'd knocked on their door at ten AM and then called them stinky, possibly.
"Who needs a stupid dress?" she snapped, furious as if it was an accusation. "I have real shit to take care of!" This asshole had no idea what she needed money for. Food and rent and bills. Things an eighteen year old shouldn't be worrying so much about, but things she'd been worrying about for two years now. Her mother had probably never been responsible, given as how she'd gotten knocked up by "one of five possible guys" when she was fifteen, then proceeded to piss off a witch and give birth to a dog. Now she was eighteen years older and should have been eighteen years wiser, but instead...
Well, Bree's money never went directly to her smoking habit. It just went to rent when her money went to drugs instead.
"I wouldn't even sell it to you for ten thousand!" she practically snarled, all but leaping for it. "Just give it back!" The thought of it sitting here, unloved and falling apart, was not as distressful as simply the thought of not having it anymore, of it being anywhere but in her possession, a child's only memory of what should have been a mother's love. A little slice of her passion in a box, summer days spent up a tree and in another world, flipping through pages and knowing that somewhere, somewhere, there was more out there than locked fences and locked doors.
