After paying sixty dollars to get some gas, I counted the cash I had left and began pumping it into the gas tank of my old used hatchback while I shoved the remaining bills into the front pocket of my low-rise denim shorts. As I waited for the gas pump to finish filling the tank, I secured my hip-long, curly black hair with caramel blonde highlights in a high ponytail before tugging down the hem of my gray tank top again. After leaning against the side of my car, I noticed the laces on one of my second-hand canvas slip-on sneakers had come untied.

Mr. Donovan has business with more important people than you, Sophia O’Shea.
