"Of course they're real. And what does it matter what it cost?" She gave him an irritated look. "It's always the same thing with you. Money isn't a problem."

"It just seems like a cycle. Get invited to a party, buy a new dress, or a new car, or whatever, go to the event and spend a bunch there, too." Jack said as he leaned back in the pod's seat. "Don't you get tired of these fundraisers?"

"Is the high life finally getting to you?" Dyna asked.
