I stifle the laugh at her tight disbelieving expression. "Ten thousand dollars? No wonder these are starving artists."

Aspen doesn't answer, but she gives me her double eyebrow raise with one eye open much wider than the other look. Her attempt at a raised brow. It's horrible, just horrible. I love it.
