"It's impossible. She couldn't have donated everything. I'm going to see her!" Eric snapped, spinning on his heel and rushing out the door, intent on confronting Kelly.

His frustration was building.

How could she give away that money without his approval?

"Honey, does your back hurt?" Zev asked, setting the milk down before starting to rub her lower back.
