My eyes burned, and my sobs tore free, echoing through the empty room. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, abruptly cutting through my breakdown. I wiped my tears and peered through the peephole. It was hotel room service. When I opened the door, the staff member handed me a bag. "Ma'am, a Mr. Tate downstairs asked us to pass this on to you." I took the bag.

"What does this mean? Did something happen to Aunt Sarah?" "Didn't you borrow money from my mom?!" he snapped. "2,700,000 dollars, up front! Aren't you even remotely embarrassed?" I reeled.
