"Don't spend too much, it's not our money," Emma said to her daughter as she bought one thing after another. They weren't expensive, but it was still the money Kevin had given them, and she was very reluctant to spend it.
Lora, adding the new piece of clothing to the others she had bought earlier, replied, "Mom, he said we can spend it on whatever we want. He clearly told us to use it to take our minds off the situation at home, so let's just have some fun." Looking over to where Riya was shopping in another store, she continued, "And if you feel indebted to him, you can pay him back by helping him with whatever he needs."
"And what's that?" Emma asked, a bit angry that her daughter showed no shame in spending someone else's money.
"I don't know," Lora shrugged.
This made Emma even angrier and more frustrated. "Then how are you going to pay him back?" she asked.
Lora turned to her with a wide smile and said, "Who said I was going to pay him back?"
