He'd always been far more adept at finances. Buried amongst the receipts and bills was a document. A statement. It showed a savings account he didn't know about.

The amount wasโ€ฆ significant. He took a deep breath, already envisioning how this could be used. He'd always tried to help Susan manage their money more effectively, but her methods wereโ€ฆ well, not ideal. He had a sudden urge to make a few calls, to get some advice. It was all a matter of maximizing the potential, right?
