“We make a bit of small talk and then he drops the bomb. “Look, Erin. About your money. I’m in a little hot water right now.” “What’s wrong?” I ask. “I’ve done something I shouldn’t have. Just between, you and me, I borrowed some of your money. Mid you, I have full intentions of paying it back.”… Thanks for being so understanding about this, Erin. I’ll work it all out. Don’t worry.”
This was a really big conflict in the book. Ronald was named to hold and conserve the money that came from Erin’s parents. Throughout the entire book, whenever they (Tracy, Erin, Trent) needed money, Ronald denied them, saying he can’t just give them money for anything or every time they ask for it. Ronald seemed to have some sort of wisdom or understanding that dipping into there needs to be a great importance for it. Now it seems that, that wisdom of keeping the money is gone because instead of giving the money to his nieces when they desperately need it, he spends the money on a risky business, which he is breaking the law, by doing that. I also like this passage because Erin finally takes some action in actually displaying how she feels
