Chapter 8 - The Secret Beyond Money

I didn’t confront Spencer.

Not yet.

I needed proof.

A lifetime of loving someone taught me patience.

A lifetime of being hurt taught me caution.

I returned to his room with a smile.

He immediately relaxed.

“Did you bring the ticket?”

There it was.

Not “Are you okay?”

Not “Where were you?”

The ticket.

I smiled.

“Why do you think I brought it?”

His face changed.

Only slightly.

But enough.

“Mom, don’t do this.”

Do this.

Like protecting myself was an attack.

Then his phone lit up.

A message appeared.

I saw one word.

“Mother.”

Not my name.
