Glass (Crank 2)

is important to every young

woman. It’s just

that you’ve always had such

big dreams. I don’t

want to see you lose them. You

made an immense

mistake, but it shouldn’t mean

the demise of all you

worked so hard to accomplish.

She Opened the Door

To a real conversation and,

fired up on twenty hours’ sleep

and a good strong whiff of quite

excellent glass, I feel like talking.

Does she really want to listen?

“I’ve got lots of time to put

my life back in order, Mom. I

want to, really I do. But I need

your help, and not just financially.

I want to make a good life for

Hunter, a good life for myself.

I want to stay close to my

family, but I also need the chance

to leave the nest. To do that,

I need an income. I need a job.”

Her jawline turns to stone.

What about college, Kristina?

A job is all well and fine. But

to continue the lifestyle you’re

used to, you need a career.
