Carly was frantic. "I'm not standing you up! My dad came home, and something

Carly said, "I will give you more money, just not right now. Alright, stop making a

fuss. It's already dark. My dad should be asleep. I'll head over now."

"Alright, Ms. Hampton. Let's hope you actually show up this time."
