Daniel didn’t attend the dinner gathering because of the appointment he had with the cable guy that evening. After May hung up on Emily, they went to the kitchen so he could have his dinner while Bedina tended to Tessa’s bedtime routine. He was half way thru his supper when May presented him with her personal cheque in the amount of $5000.
“What’s this for?” He asked.
“The donation!” May reminded him. “From the Christmas Craft Market in Kelowna, remember?”
Daniel pushed the cheque back to her. “There’s an extra zero there.”
Seeing he had gone back to eating his food, she placed the cheque on the table and pushed it close to his elbow. “No, I said we would split the donation.” She flashed her five fingers in front of him. “Remember, 50/50!”
“Well, I took that to mean $500.” Daniel knew for certain he never told her the amount he wrote on the cheque. “Who told you I donated ten thousand?”
