I understand you are upset and I want you to know that o hear that. What I want you to thin about is how much of this is you being upset about your father. I know this must be terribly difficult for you. I locate myself in that feeling.

I’ve heard her talk like this before, like the psychologist she is, a million times. So why is it this time I start shaking?

I don’t respond to the text right away. When Aisha comes back from the bathroom, I’m searching for a place my mom can wire us money.

“You figure out what happened with the card?” she asks.

“Yeah, sort of. No. It’s fine. My mom is wiring us some money,” I say, while texting my mom the information. I don’t tell Aisha it’s only a hundred bucks, which is not that much given that we no longer have a credit card. I also don’t tell her that the money comes with a directive to get back to Billings immediately.

“Wow. My mom would not be that generous.”

“Yeah, well,” I say, trying to figure out how we’re going to make this work. There’s got to be a way. Failure is not an option.
