For the first time, Rebecca truly understood the phrase: Does money make you better than everyone?

“It’s getting late. Let’s eat first.” Jeffrey was still holding Samuel’s hand, his calm words slipping from thin lips.

Rebecca glanced at the overflowing trash can.

Samuel offered his other hand to her, redirecting her attention. “Mommy, let’s go.”

Rebecca exhaled slowly. “Okay.”

The three of them went to a restaurant near the amusement park. Sitting by the window offered a panoramic view of both the park and the lake in the distance.

Throughout the meal, Jeffrey kept chatting with Samuel as if that earlier phone call had never happened.

Jeffrey found her behavior odd. The constant zoning out and brooding suggested some heavy burden.
