I Quit Being Her Wallet

Synopsis

My best friend, Melissa Young, hit me up for a ride to the seafood market, and I said yes without thinking about it. As soon as we got there, she made a beeline for the king crab section and grabbed three big baskets full. I glanced at the price tag, and my stomach dropped when I saw three thousand dollars. When we got to the checkout, she flashed me a smile and said, "Hey, babe, can you cover this for me? I'll send you the money later." That was already the seventeenth time she had said that. I smiled, held my car keys in my hand, and said, "Here, take these for a second while I go move the car."
