180 Living the old life

All the efforts Zara had been putting in for the last few minutes went down the drain. He had spotted what she was trying to hide.

"Far more than me or my mom can manage to pay."

"Give me a number, Z"

Zara shrugged, "10,000 dollars plus some other late charges for missing on the monthly installments."

He gave her a blank look, "That's it?"
