After class I call Dean.

Hey, big boy, I say.

Hello, beautiful, he goes. I made a terrific trade today.

It must be all that good loving, I say.

I guess you inspired me, he goes. I made two hundred thousand before lunch.

I’m like, do I get half?

Actually I made it for a client, he says.

I go, tell him I deserve a commission at least.

I’ll give you a big commission, he goes.

I’m like, how big?

We’re both driveling idiots. We sort of drool and baby talk for a while, then I tell him I’m going to tan, then shower and dress and he says he’ll pick me up around nine.

When I get home Jeannie says, Alison, I’ve got to tell you something.

I’m like, if it’s bad news I don’t want to hear it. I’m too happy.

You want a line? she says. She’s definitely wired.

No thanks, I say.

Poor Jeannie, she’s really wiped out over this Frank thing. He’s tried to call but she won’t pick up the phone and she won’t let me tell him when she’s here.

So what’s up? I go.

We got an eviction notice, she goes.

I’m like, I thought you said you’d cover me this month.

Yeah, she goes, but we owe three months.

Are you crazy? I go. I gave you my half for the other months.

What are we going to do? Jeannie says.

What do you mean, what are we going to do? What happened to the money?

Jeannie starts to sob. Oh, Alison, she goes. I’m sorry. Please don’t hate me.
