Auburn
I squirm in my chair as soon as he tells me his hourly rate.
ere’s no way I can afford this with my income.
“Do you work on a sliding-scale basis?” I ask him.
e wrinkles around his mouth become more prominent as
he attempts to keep from frowning. He folds his arms over the
mahogany desk and clasps his hands together, pressing the
pads of his thumbs against one other.
“Auburn, what you’re asking me to do is going to cost
money.”

No shit.
He leans back in his chair, pulling his hands to his chest
and resting them on his stomach. “Lawyers are like weddings.
You get what you pay for.”
I fail to tell him what a horrible analogy that is. Instead, I
glance down at the business card in my hand. He came highly
recommended and I knew it was going to be expensive, but I
had no idea it would be this expensive. I’ll need a second job.
Maybe even a third one. Actually, I’m going to have to rob a
damn bank.
“And there’s no guarantee the judge will rule in my favor?”
“e only promise I can make is that I’ll do everything I
can to ensure the judge does rule in your favor. According to
the paperwork that was led back in Portland, you’ve put
yourself in a tough spot. is will take time.”
“All I have is time,” I mumble. “I’ll be back as soon as I get
my rst paycheck.”
He has me set up an appointment through his secretary and
then sends me on my way, back out into the Texas heat.
I’ve been living here all of three weeks and so far it’s
everything I thought it would be: hot, humid, and lonely.
I grew up in Portland, Oregon, and assumed I would spend
the rest of my life there. I visited Texas once when I was
fteen and although that trip wasn’t a pleasant one, I wouldn’t
take back a single second of it. Unlike now, when I’d do
anything to get back to Portland.
I pull my sunglasses down over my eyes and begin heading
in the direction of my apartment. Living in downtown Dallas
is nothing like living in downtown Portland. At least in
Portland, I had access to almost everything the city had to
offer, all within a decent walk. Dallas is spread out and
expansive, and did I mention the heat? It’s so hot.
