"Fi-fif- FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS." Art finally got it out of his mouth. The summer training camp here cost a massive sum of money. "I could pay it if I was allowed to use my family's fund but my parents would need me to justify this investment. They are well paid researchers and it is by far not a small sum."
Asher heard what Art had said and picked up his phone for him. He too looked at the outrageous number and tried to think of a way to argue it. Unfortunately, there were so many good things about the camp that exceeded the price that he didn't even think he could speak a word against it.
