Love Not Charity

Summary

Thomas rejected the honors program spot for me.

He gave it to Rena Quinn, the scholarship kid he supposedly couldn’t stand.

When I told him we were over, he just took off his gold-rimmed glasses, polishing them with a deliberate slowness, completely unfazed.

"Don't forget, I voted for you in the campus ambassador poll, not her. That took some real pressure."

He spoke as if placating a child. “Rena’s family is dirt poor. That program is her only shot. Think about how many times I’ve gone after her for your sake over the years. Just consider this a way of making it even.”
