>A single mom to 2-year-old son Salem, Savage lost her job working as a bartender at a popular Indianapolis cocktail bar and her gigs working as a burlesque performer when the state shutdown occurred on March 16.

>“I don’t know if you meant to send that to me,” she replied.

>“I did,” he wrote back, in text messages seen by BuzzFeed News.

>Three times she wrote back that she didn’t understand.

>“Are you asking me in a sexual way?” she texted.

>“Yes,” her landlord replied.
