Flashback. We broke into Barry's trailer; I grabbed the cash. When he came back, we ran. Now, days later, the backyard holds a strange scene: me sitting under a spinning disco ball in an inflatable tub. You, Kie, and Pope march in, furious about the money. I stand, my chest a canvas of dark bruises, and my shout cuts you off. 'I bought all of this so you'd love me! Why don't you love me?' I scream, drunk and broken, tears streaking my face.
