<\/figure>\n\n\n\n“I told you she was ‘away,'” Jason said, his voice a low, dangerous hum. “I didn’t specify where because I wanted to see who you were when you thought no one important was watching.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It\u2019s a misunderstanding!” Sarah\u2019s voice hit a shrill, desperate note. She gestured wildly at her dress. “This is a fifty-thousand-dollar piece, Jason. I was just startled! I was protecting what we\u2019ve worked for!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His mother, Mary, let out a soft, dry laugh that sounded like dead leaves skittering across the pavement. She pulled her frayed sweater tighter, though she didn\u2019t look cold anymore. She looked like she was made of stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“What we worked for?” Mary asked, her eyes piercing through Sarah\u2019s polished facade. “My son worked for that suit. He worked to put me in a home where I wouldn’t have to worry about the cold. But tonight, I wanted to see the woman who was going to become part of my family. I wanted to see your heart, not your couture.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Jason, honey, talk to me,” Sarah pleaded, reaching for his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jason finally turned. The emptiness in his eyes had been replaced by a quiet, searing clarity. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, velvet box. Sarah\u2019s eyes widened, a flicker of greed and hope returning to her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He didn’t open it. He simply looked at the box, then at the woman who had just called his mother a “pathetic loon.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My mother taught me that a person\u2019s worth is measured by how they treat those who can do absolutely nothing for them,” Jason said. He walked to the edge of a nearby storm drain and let the box slip from his fingers. There was a faint clink<\/em> as it disappeared into the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Jason! What are you doing?!” Sarah screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “I’m keeping my couture clean,” Jason replied coldly. He turned back to Mary, his face softening instantly. He wrapped his expensive wool coat around her thin shoulders, ignoring the way the damp wool touched her worn sweater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Come on, Mom. Let\u2019s go home. I think I\u2019ve seen enough of the gala.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n He led his mother toward the car, leaving Sarah standing alone under the harsh glare of the streetlamp\u2014shivering in her white fur, surrounded by expensive things, and suddenly looking more pathetic than anyone else on the street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The girlfriend, Sarah, took a frantic step forward, her heels clicking unevenly on the damp concrete. “Jason, wait!
