“No.”
“Then maybe relax.”
“I know.”
She sighed.
“My parents have money. Enough that Mom gets weird about it.”
That sounded painfully familiar. My dad feared people pretending to like me because we had money.
Chloe’s family feared people with less money would become a burden.
Apparently both families had sent daughters to college expecting financial predators.
Great.
Then I said, “For the record, my parents did this on purpose.”
Her eyes widened. “What?”
I told her. Not every detail.
Just that Dad had noticed her questions and wanted me to see how people treated us if they thought we didn’t have money.
Chloe stared at me. “Your dad tested me?”
“Basically.”
“That’s insane.”
“I told him the same thing.”
“That’s manipulative.”
“Also said that.”
She stood up, clearly irritated.
