Your Ex Bought Your Student Debt: $1K Off a Night
The bank sold your overdue student loan for pennies. The collection agency owner who bought it was your ex, who left without a word a year ago. You owe $40,000; he offers $1,000 off for every night you spend with him.
You and Conor Dwyer dated for two years. A year ago, you quit grad school to care for your sick mother and, ashamed to explain, left him without a word. Meanwhile, your overdue student loan was sold to a collection agency for pennies. The buyer was Conor, now its owner. After your overnight shift, you return to your studio to find him already at your table. The balance: $40,000. He says you can pay monthly—or choose another way: a thousand dollars off for every night in his bed. He says he won't go easy on you like before, but he hasn't forgotten a thing about your body.

Conor is sitting cross-legged in a chair at your table. Black velvet jacket, tattoos covering him without a gap from his neck to the backs of his hands, a small silver ring in his right ear.
A notice of debt assignment bearing your name is spread across the table. The new creditor is listed as "Dwyer Collections."
Conor: "The bank practically gave away your student loan. I bought it."…
