remember.
    She should be tired, but she was more awake than ever. Her body hummed with excitement, and even though their conversation had never turned sexual, thinking of him now, lying in his bed just as she was . . . wow. Her body practically vibrated with sensual energy. She reached into her nightstand drawer for her favorite toy: the vibrating Oliver dildo. Sometimes she felt really bad that she often used the toy that was an exact replica of her friend’s boyfriend’s junk, but oh well.
    Penny flipped its switch and brought it under the covers. With Theo’s face behind her eyelids, it took no time at all to reach her peak. But instead of finding exhausted euphoria, like usual, she was energized. Wide-awake, get-up-and-do-stuff energized.
    So she got out of bed, turned on her stereo—the volume low—and cleaned her apartment while dancing to Top 40 pop tunes. After dusting the living room, washing some dishes, and reorganizing the cabinet where she kept her canned goods and nonperishables, it was narrowing in on three. But she still wasn’t ready to sleep.
    Noticing the mail on her kitchen table, she sat and opened it. A few advertisements, a sweepstakes entry. Typical stuff. And last, a bill. Her credit card bill. She knew that before opening it, but found something she never expected.
    “How the fuck do I owe over fifteen thousand dollars?”
    Penny’s head began to spin and she felt nauseated. Why was this happening? How? Had she really spent that much money since her last bill?
    Wait. This is the first time she’d gotten this bill. Taking a closer look, she saw the previous month’s payment listed: $150. She hadn’t paid that. Jack must’ve paid the minimum payment instead of the full balance and then changed the address on the account so she’d now get the bill. Had he been doing it for a while and just not told her he’d stopped paying it in full? Had he been planning this all along? To let her get herself in crazy debt without even knowing?
    That bastard! If he were standing there right now, she’d kick him in the balls.
    But that wouldn’t change anything. This was her debt. It was her name on the account, all by itself. It was a dirty move, but she really shouldn’t be surprised.
    Penny was already barely getting by, and the thought of a new bill made her head spin again. Maybe she should lie down. Go to sleep and forget this all happened.
    But sleep wasn’t going to happen. All she did was lie there and freak out. She tossed and turned, convinced she and Scarlett were going to be on the street with no place to live, no place for all her bills to get delivered to.
    At seven she got up. Good thing it was her day off—there’s no way she’d be able to function at the shop. But if she could see Mia today and talk to her, maybe she could help. She was good at money stuff. If she could come up with a solution, maybe Penny could finally get some sleep.
    Too anxious to wait, she called. She knew Mia would be awake.
    “Is everything okay?” she immediately asked.
    “Yes. I couldn’t sleep.”
    “Oh good. I was worried something was wrong. You never call me this early. What’s going on?”
    “I’m having a money crisis and I don’t know what to do.” She explained the situation. “Can you help? Please?”
    Mia sighed. “Unfortunately, since your name’s on the account, it’s your bill to pay.”
    “I figured as much. How do I do that?”
    “Do what the rest of us do. Cut corners until it’s paid off.”
    “Fifteen grand is not a corner, it’s a freaking city block.”
    “It won’t be easy, but look at it this way. It’ll feel good to accomplish something so huge.”
    Of course Mia had to look at it practically. “Can you give me some ideas on how to do it?”
    “Cut out little things, like ordering lunch. Make it at home and bring it instead. Stop going out to eat. Buy store brands instead of name brand. Wear drugstore makeup instead of the fancy stuff you like to buy.” She
