“I’m so sorry, Miss, but I can’t let you check out a library book when you
have a dollar twenty-three balance due on your account. The system
won’t allow me to override it.”
“I… but, I somehow left my wallet at home…” I frantically murmured
to the older gentleman behind the checkout counter as I sifted through my
Louis Vuitton bag. A fierce heat coated my cheeks as the embarrassment set
in and sweat pooled at my hairline. The eyes of several other library patrons
watching—judging—my every move grew heavy on my back. I bit my
tongue to keep the tears that flooded my eyes from spilling over.
If my father could see me now, he’d be staring at me with a smug grin
on his face, readying himself to gloat to whoever would listen, saying I’d
come crawling back to my trust fund any day now. Since the moment I had
left the house with my luggage in tow and hopped into my Mercedes S
Class—which, unfortunately, he had paid for—I had been the object of his
ridicule.
Actually, let’s back up.
Since before I was born, I had been the object of his ridicule. His lack of
confidence in me was not something he was interested in hiding.
It had been a long couple of years at college, and despite being
excruciatingly tired of ramen noodles made on a stove that only worked
half the time, I had refused to ask for any more help than the agreed-upon
amount my mother sent me monthly. We bickered for weeks about how
much I should receive and, ultimately; I had won. I would receive monthly
deposits to keep my modest one-bedroom apartment’s rent paid and the
utilities on. My parents also covered my car insurance and cell phone bills,
so my primary responsibilities were food, gas, and anything extra I wanted
to buy.
Fourteen hundred dollars.
Some months I had extra to spend, and other months, such as this, my
empty wallet was “accidentally” left at home in fear I would spend my last
few dollars on something stupid.
Poor little broke rich girl.
God, I still sounded like a snob.
The clearing of a throat snapped me back to reality. “I understand, Miss,
I do, but perhaps you can come back later when—”
“Excuse me, sir? I can cover the balance for her.” A man who looked
just slightly older than me stepped forward from his place in line with a
five-dollar bill in his outstretched hand.
Words escaped me as I stared at this stranger who had just become my
library knight in shining armor.
Short chestnut locks fell in front of his deep brown eyes while the rest
hung haphazardly, looking like it desperately needed to be brushed. His
light gray t-shirt clung to the muscles that were so clearly hidden beneath,
looked worn and had pinholes scattered near the collar and hemline. My
eyes traveled further to take in the rest of his appearance, and it conflicted
me with what to think. He didn’t look dirty, per se, but he looked unkempt.
It was hard to tell if he was poor or if he just didn’t care.
