The Date Swap

****TRIGGER WARNING: DRUG-RELATED DEATH, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, ABUSE****


“I built my company about ten years ago with Trent bringing in the major financial backing. I was totally broke, in debt up to my eyeballs. He funded it while I was finishing my MBA. I owe him a great deal because he made me what I am today.”


“Is that why you agreed to babysit Porsche?” asked Nori.


Brad faltered. He wasn’t about to reveal the deal he’d made with Trent.


The question caught Brad by surprise, “My parents?"


“Yeah, are they proud of your success?”


Brad thought of his parents. He hadn’t thought about them for years, “I don't know.” 


Brad rubbed a knot in his neck and tried to push back his building anger, “Why are you so nosy all the time?”


"Some people don't like to talk about their past."


"But, why not?" She played with a strand of her hair, making it wave like black seaweed in the water.
