Breaking the Rules (2011)
“She still had a full hour before it was time to meet Clarice, but Neesha headed over to the hamburger place early—being cautious as usual.
She walked from the bus station, where she’d used the bathroom to change into the same halter top that she’d worn the previous night.
She didn’t have a jacket, so she’d used one of the shirts Ben had given her to cover the sequins, because she didn’t want to draw attention to herself until she arrived at the private party.
It didn’t matter that she smelled o...f perspiration or worse—this was the last time she would ever wear this top. She would return here later and change back into a far less eye-catching shirt, then bring the clothes she’d borrowed back to Ben’s sister, along with money to clean or even just replace them.
She’d leave it in a bag outside the apartment door, wishing that she could—as Ben’s older brother suggested—write a note. Just to say thank you. And good luck.
But she didn’t know how to write in English, and there was a bus that left for L.A.MoreLess
