Claire stood beside the kitchen island with one hand resting protectively on her pregnant belly.
Daniel was only a few feet away, distracted by his phone.
Between them sat a small black bag.
Claire opened it slowly.
Inside were several bundles of cash.
Daniel finally looked up.
What is that?
Claire did not answer.
She placed the money on the granite counter.
Then she removed her wedding ring.
Daniel stared at her.
Claire.
She placed the ring beside the cash.
His face changed instantly.
What are you doing?
Claire looked exhausted.
I found the money this morning.
Daniel glanced toward the bag.
Where?
In your office.
He immediately looked back at his phone.
Claire noticed.
You already know what it is.
Daniel shook his head.
No.
But she could see the panic in his face.
Claire pushed the ring slightly toward him.
Then tell me why your name is on the transfer receipt.
