The morning sun, a glaring intruder, had already managed to seep under the blinds. Sarah groaned, pulling the covers higher. The thought of getting up, of facing the day, was a monumental effort. Then a flicker of something interesting on her phone: an email from the bank. It was just a notification about a new savings account her husband, Mark, had opened. Curiosity, a rare visitor, sparked within her.

He'd been so preoccupied lately with his new job, which had given him a new found sense of industry. She, on the other hand, had been enjoying the quiet of the house, the freedom to just… be. The account details were right there, attached as a PDF. She could open it, but the effort of actually navigating to the file seemed immense.

With a deep sigh, she finally decided to open the attachment. A series of numbers and digits swam before her eyes. The amount was… substantial. A wave of bewilderment washed over her. She'd always assumed they were on the same page financially. She didn't feel like moving to go question him about it. Maybe tomorrow.
