Sarah Reads the Expenses
Sarah finally stopped playing with her food and reached under the table. She produced a small, battered notebook and flipped it open to a marked page.
Her voice was shaky at first, but she gained confidence as she read down the list. She recited every dollar she had spent on my groceries and medications over the last year.
It was shocking to realize she had been keeping a detailed ledger of every favor she ever did for her own mother.
