The Gift
Every day is ordinary until it isn’t. It was April 5th. My husband and I had woken up a short time earlier and were slowly trudging our way through our morning routine. From the kitchen, he shouted, “Did you feed the cats?” I called out, “Yes. Did you pay the cable bill?” Other such romantic sentiments were exchanged throughout the morning. I had just put the toothbrush globed with too much paste into my mouth when my husband exclaimed, “We have a problem.” Uh oh. Even though I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong, I started to recount every little thing I had done, ever. “What kind of problem?” I garbled. White foamy spit hit the mirror. “There’s an extra $20,000 in our bank account. I went to pay the cable bill, and there’s just, there’s just so much money in the account,” he said, shocked. I spat out all the toothpaste, not even bothering to brush. “Uh, what? Where did it come from?” I yelled. A moment later he poked his head around the bathroom door, his eyes soft, mouth slightly downturned. “The note on the account transfer says it’s from aunty M.”
