Darcy is striving to be a writer. But the only way she can reach that goal is if she's constantly reading, writing and studying in Darcy can't do that if she has to continually work to pay rent and bills. That's why she's got a sugar daddy. He's a best-selling novelist who can afford to pay Darcy to be his muse. She does whatever he asks, when he has time. He said that he couldn't get her published in return, but that he could give her a substantial amount of money. That's fine with Darcy, because she doesn't want to sell out and fuck her way to the top. She works hard to reach goals the right way.
