“About the money?”
“Not exactly.”
“What?”
She hesitated.
“He met with a lender yesterday.”
“To refinance?”
“Yes.”
“He told me.”
“He didn’t tell you what they said.”
My stomach tightened.
“What did they say?”
“They can refinance.”
“That sounds like good news.”
“It would pay you back.”
“But?”
Rebecca looked at me.
“But Daniel would have to empty most of the children’s education savings to qualify comfortably after closing costs and pay down another debt first.”
I stared at her.
“What other debt?”
Her eyes met mine.
“A business loan.”
“What business?”
“Daniel’s.”
I shook my head.
“He doesn’t own a business.”
Rebecca’s expression told me I was wrong.
“He does now.”
Since when?
Why had he hidden it?
And most importantly, if Daniel had been carrying a financial burden large enough to threaten the children’s savings, why had no one thought I should know?
