The Swap
"Honey, Caleb and Betty are just showing their gratitude. If we turn it down, they'll feel bad."
Damian's eyes shifted—probably doing mental math—before he fake-declined a few times, then took it with a big smile. Classic him. He couldn't resist a "deal," even if it meant squeezing his own brother.
It wasn't always like this. Before we got married, he seemed selfless—saving up by skipping meals just to buy me flowers. He acted like money didn't matter, convincing everyone, including my parents, that he was head over heels for me.
