    Summary

    “Good afternoon,” Buck says, projecting what he hopes to be effortless sincerity. “I’m here from the Neighborhood Financial Wellness Program. What’s your name?”

    She smiles, opening the door a little more. “Isabel Diaz.”

    “Wonderful! It’s so nice to meet you, Isabel. My name is—”

    This is the fatal moment he realizes he did not come up with a name prior to knocking. The second where his brain, empty as a hollowed gourd, reaches into the void for a convincing, respectable name.

    What emerges, thankfully, is actually pretty respectable. And convincing. One may even say strategic.

    “My name is Edmundo,” he says.

    Or,
