smart . I hadnтАЩt even started thinking about stuff like my house and carтАФтАЭ

тАЬWhich I also bought,тАЭ she added helpfully.

тАЬSo quickly? I havenтАЩt even been dead a week. How could you do all this stuff in a day?тАЭ

тАЬIt helps to be ridiculously wealthy,тАЭ she said modestly. тАЬAlso, I started the stuff the day you died. ItтАФit
gave me something to do. Besides, I didnтАЩt want Mrs. Taylor doing something rotten with your things.
Figured IтАЩd legally own it all, have plenty of time to sort through everything, then put it back on the
market once everything wasтАФyou knowтАФsettled.тАЭ
 I shook my head. тАЬNo wonder you kicked my ass on the SATs. Okay, well, I suppose I can make my
house and car payments to you instead of the bankтАФтАЭ

тАЬUh-oh, no way.тАЭ

тАЬJessicaтАФтАЭ

тАЬForget it.тАЭ

тАЬтАФyou canтАЩt just spend all that moneyтАФтАЭ

тАЬYouтАЩre dead, I canтАЩt heeeeeeeeear youuuuuuuтАжтАЭ

тАЬтАФand not get anything baтАФтАЭ

тАЬLa la la la lala la la la !тАЭ Her hands were clapped over her ears and her eyes were squeezed shut.

I kicked her ankle, very very gently. тАЬFine, fine,fine! тАЭ

She opened her eyes and smiled at me, then bent and rubbed her ankle. тАЬGood. And ouch! Besides,
itтАЩs not a gift. YouтАЩre not going to have much income coming in for a while, but youтАЩll be ambushing bad
guys at nightтАФтАЭ

тАЬI havenтАЩt decidedwhat IтАЩm going to be doing at night.тАЭ

тАЬтАФso it evens out,тАЭ she finished with trademark stubbornness. тАЬYou shouldnтАЩt have to worry about
house payments on top of everything else.тАЭ

тАЬWellтАжthanks. I really donтАЩt know what to say. YouтАЩre too good.тАЭ

I knew I should have fought her more for formтАЩs sake, but the fact was, Jessica could have paid off the
homes of everyone we went to high school with, and still have about a billion dollars left over. It was
stupid to protest when she had the bucks and the inclination. But IтАЩd find a non-monetary way to make it
up to her.

Look her in the eyes and tell her to take your money, a treacherous inner voice whispered. It
sounded alarmingly like my stepsmother.Make her bend.

I shoved the thought away, horrified, and told myself it wouldnтАЩt work: Jessica was a woman, and had
no interest in seeing what color underpants I had on.
