Chapter 1

I can’t do it. I sipped my cup of coffee and let it burn my throat. Next week will be my last.

My best friend of eight years, Kate, gave me the worst puppy dog eyes. Bullshit, Chloe. You haven’t even handed in your two-week notice. Isn’t it time to repay that favor I did for you? She begged, grabbing my hand and caging it between hers.

My stomach rolled. She was referring to the escort job she got me. It was going to hold me over until I’d found a real job. That never came. Besides, the money is good and the clientele is fine, as long as you ignore that you are spending your Friday nights with desperate, lonely men. Whatever. At least I rake in good cash on the weekend instead of spending it.

The main problem was people’s obvious distaste for what I do. It’s not as if I was fucking these guys, but damn… people were always so quick to judge. Naturally, I stopped telling folks I was an escort and turned it into a fun round of charades. But the game is getting old now, and I’m getting older too. I’m tired of lying to everyone. And how long can I go before my brain becomes numb from not learning an actual skill?

Kate’s situation was worse than my own. Was she stuck here for life? My mind scrambled for a response. "Shouldn’t you be the one quitting? You’ve been doing this for four effing years. Why don’t you move to something new?"

She grimaced and glared at me as if I was out of my mind. Like what?

My thoughts froze in their tracks. She got me there. I had no idea what to do with myself either. I needed the money and I couldn’t take a pay cut to learn something new—not with my dad’s condition. Someone had to put food on the table. A girl had to do whatever she could to keep her family alive. I brought my attention back to her. Like go to college.

Shallow laughter vibrated through her chest, her stomach rising and falling. You seriously think I want to go to university like you, Miss Prim?

My chest tightened. Prim? I held my tongue. That was a compliment considering what I did for a living. What’s your problem with going to college?

I ain’t smart enough for that, Kate waved the suggestion away. I’m twenty-five, Chloe. Don’t you think that’s a little too old for college?

For the last couple of months, I had been trying to persuade Kate to quit the escort crap and go to college with me. But she’d insisted she was too dumb and too old to get in and change. It wasn’t that. It was because the money was too damn good. I quit fumbling with my zipper and tried to convince her yet again. Don’t you have more drive now than you did when you were 18? Just get in and step on the gas. You’ll come out a better person on the other side.
