River stared at the Kickstarter page on her cell. “Really?” her friend Tia said. “Let me see.” Tia pushed her long, red hair behind her ear as she peered over River’s shoulder. They were standing in the break room of Giselle’s, the cosmetics and accessories store where they worked. River was just checking her e-mails before she stashed her phone and other belongings in her locker and started her shift. “Hey, your campaign looks like it’s fully funded,” Tia observed. “That was fast. Didn’t you just start it up?” River nodded. “Two days ago.” She was shocked as she stared at the numbers. Tia was right. “So have you figured out where you’re going to take this person? It better be a pretty nice place if they’re paying that much.” River’s stomach clenched as she shook her head, opening the next e-mail. She’d never thought anyone would actually pay that much. She knew most campaigns had some extravagant options people could buy in order to get online donors to contribute to a business initiative.
