Chapter 30 Summary

Cupcake awoke the next morning with a horrible hangover. She stumbled around her apartment and noticed that Tommy was still there. She was surprised, and even more so when he invited her out for breakfast. Cupcake was used to men coming and going, so she didn’t expect Tommy to stay. She assumed he must want something out of her, but he proved otherwise. Cupcake fell in love with Tommy because he accepted her as she was, and because they bonded over their shared love of drugs. When Tommy introduced Cupcake to crack cocaine, it seemed at first like an elaborate performance to prepare the drug. After trying it, Cupcake realized she had never felt anything quite like it, and it became her new drug of choice.

Chapter 31 Summary

As Cupcake sank into her new substance use, she started taking more than she was putting in, and Tommy urged her to find a job using the education she had gotten. He warned her that she would need to diligently practice enunciating her words, refraining from slang and swearing, and that he and her friends would punch her each time she did swear. Cupcake hated this idea at first, but the more that she practiced, the easier it became.
