"Bingo," whispered Thomas, feeling a sudden surge of exhilaration. He had been casually "tidying" his wife, Eleanor's, desk when he stumbled upon the bank statement. It was hidden, tucked away at the back of a drawer. He had been looking to see if he could find where she kept her receipts.

He ran his fingers over the paper, a genuine feeling of pleasantness washing over him. The numbers… they were truly astounding. A chuckle escaped him, a sound filled with pure glee. He could finally get that motorcycle he had been lusting after for years.

He felt like dancing, as he skipped off towards his man cave, to plan all the new things he could purchase.
