Chapter 2.10: July 23, 2017
"What are we doing at Nordstrom?"
"We're shopping for your clothes, of course."
"Beth, we're both college students. You have a kid. I just woke from a coma. There is no way we have any money to spare right now."
"Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you. In the case of his…absence, Ken made sure that you would receive about three hundred dollars each year on your birthday until the money in that account ran out."
"That dork. He could have told me."
"Guess he didn't really get the chance to. Now, can we go shopping?"
"I'm not the biggest fan of shopping."
"I know, but it's important."
"All right, fine. Let's go!"
"We're specifically looking for an evening go—How about this one?"
"It's gorgeous. But you know what Kenny would say?"
"What?"
"That it's too revealing because God forbid my shoulders should show. He'd try to convince me to find a hoop skirt because perverts needed the reminder of the circle in which I should be protected."
"But you know he'd love you in it, anyway."
"Beth, please, he loved me in everything."
"True that. Now, go try it on!"
"Yeah, yeah. Will do."
"Oh, and these shoes will go perfectly with it!"
"Great Scots, woman. Why don't I just buy the whole store?"
"You probably could with Ken's money."
"But where is the lie?"
