She just called me back and was very cheerful and talkative. We talked for almost an hour. This is where I usually start thinking everything is fine and she's ok, however her bank account tells me otherwise.

Today's ATM debit brings the total, starting from October 26, to $400.

She's going to run out of money fast. I'm afraid of what comes next.
