Andrew pointed at me.
“Unnecessary.”
Kayla didn’t laugh.
“I’m heartbroken, Amanda. I have no money. I don’t even have a job yet.”
“I know.”
“I have no money.”
“And you’re giving me a deadline?”
“I’m giving us a plan.”
“Same thing.”
“No, it isn’t.”
She looked at Andrew.
“And you. You’ve been acting like I’m some kind of predator all week.”
Andrew picked up his coffee.
“No.”
“I’m giving us a plan.”
“You leave every time I come into the room.”

“In what?”
“I left because it was awkward.”
“Whatever experiment you thought you were running. You kept trying to make me a character in an argument with my wife.”
