Peter had always been like that.
If something could be answered, he saw no reason to leave it unanswered.
He returned several minutes later.
“I have the file.”
My mouth went dry.
“And?”
“Interesting.”
I almost laughed from nerves.
“Peter, at my age, interesting is not a reassuring word.”
“Your eighty-five thousand dollars was documented as a family loan.”
I closed my eyes.
“Thank God.”
“But there’s more.”
I opened them again.
“What?”
“You didn’t loan it only to Daniel.”
“What do you mean?”
“The agreement lists Daniel and Rebecca jointly.”
“That makes sense.”
“Yes. But there’s an addendum.”
I frowned.
“What addendum?”
“You signed it three months later.”
“I don’t remember that.”
“I can send it to you.”
“What does it say?”
Peter took a breath.
