While cleaning out a drawer in their bedroom, she found a thin, white envelope tucked away. Her husband, Paul's, name was scrawled on the front. Curiosity sparked inside her.

Inside, she discovered a bank statement. A savings account she knew nothing about. A playful giggle escaped her lips. This was the beginning of something wonderfully absurd.
