“We are married.”
“Yes.”
“This affects our family.”
“Your mother’s company is not our family account.”
Margaret gave a small laugh.
“That says a lot about you.”
I turned toward her.
“I agree.”
Adrian stood.
“Do you know how humiliating this is?”
“For whom?”
“For me.”
That surprised me.
“Why is your mother’s business loan humiliating for you?”
He said nothing.
The silence lasted half a second too long.
I noticed.
I had been noticing a lot lately.
Two months earlier, I had begun reviewing our finances more carefully.
Not because I suspected Adrian of a crime.
Because numbers had stopped behaving normally.
