Ismiled as I glanced down at my phone. I was a bit surprised it had taken so long for Cadence to call, and I could imagine how angry she was.

She was going to get angrier, because I didn’t plan to answer. I was going to make her come see me in person if she wanted to talk about what I’d done.

Leaning back in my chair, I put my hands behind my head. I couldn’t help chuckling over what I imagined she wanted to say to me. Making her wait would either give her time to cool down, or make it worse, but either way I was prepared to handle it. Cadence at her worst would never be as bad as what I dealt with on a daily basis, and it was guaranteed to have her hunting for me.

Especially once she figured out the rest.

The idea started with the car issue. I couldn’t live with her driving around in something unsafe, and I knew she couldn’t afford to take care of the issues that old piece of junk had. Short of buying her a new car, which I knew wouldn’t work, having my mechanic take care of everything was the best thing I could do. It was hard to get it all done in the short time he had, but he managed it.

I set up the rest once I woke up. It was going to take my tech guy a little bit to pull it off, and it might be a while longer before it registered where Cadence would notice, but she was debt free.

And my bank account was a bit lighter.

It would be worth it in the end. Not like the money did anything for me just sitting there, and I had enough to spare. Getting Cadence’s attention was worth the cost.
