Chapter 20

Alice

I was excited to see Foster and ask how his work day had been. I was also excited to tell him about the job interview I had the next day for a marketing company. I didn't know much about marketing, but I assumed it couldn't be that hard. I was the queen of social media and always got hundreds of likes on all my posts on Instagram and Facebook. And I'd had a couple of viral TikTok videos as well. So I was pretty confident that I could handle a marketing job.

As I watched TV on the couch and waited for Foster to come home, I also realized that I needed to call Rosalie. I wanted to do it over the phone because I wasn't sure I could stand to see the hurt in her eyes when I told her about that night so many years ago. It had felt great getting it off my chest with Molly, but then I felt incredibly guilty. I was going to ask Foster what he thought when he got home. He would most likely say that I should speak to Rosalie in person, and I had a feeling he would be right.

I heard the keys jiggling in the door, and I quickly turned the volume on and sat back, and pretended that I was engrossed by the TV. As Foster walked into the apartment, I looked over casually. "Oh hey, you're home," I said as if I hadn't been waiting excitedly for the last couple of hours.

"Hey," he said. "How's it going?"

"Not bad. How was work? Make lots of money today?" I stopped. "Sorry."

"Hey, no worries. Work was good. I had a meeting with Travis, and he's really impressed with my work product, and he kind of offered me a promotion."

"Wow. That's amazing. Congratulations."

"Thank you. I'm not sure if I'm going to take it yet, but—"

"Oh my gosh. Why wouldn't you take it?" I stood and stared at him in surprise.

"Oh a couple of different reasons," he said, shrugging. "So you said you have an interview tomorrow?"

"Yeah. For a marketing job."

"Cool. I didn't know you were into marketing."

"I'm into anything that can pay me right now," I said, laughing. "Shit. Who knows? Maybe I'll end up working in finance as well."

He stared at me curiously. "Are you interested in finance? I didn't know that."

"I mean, kind of. Yeah. I've always been thinking about CDs and 401ks and IRAs and Roths."

"You mean a Roth IRA?"

"Yeah. Yeah. As opposed to, you know, the other kind of IRA."

"Well, there are a few," he said, smiling. "You have traditional."

"Exactly. Traditionals are amazing."

"Not so good for taxes later in life. I normally encourage people to do a backdoor Roth."

"Oh okay. Yeah. I've heard of that," I lied, having no idea what he was talking about.

"And then, of course, there's the SEP IRAs for those who are self-employed. Though I recommend individual 401ks more because you can contribute as the employer and the employee."

"Oh. Yeah. Cool." I nodded, hoping that this conversation would end soon.
