I looked around and smiled.
Do you remember the night of the divorce?
Dad laughed slowly.
How can I forget it?
“I thought you went crazy when you told me to change all the codes.
- I know.
Why were you so sure Julian would try to use the money?
Dad put the fork down.
“Because, in the weeks before the divorce, I noticed a pattern. Increasing spending. Attempts to move money. Suspicious bills. And because Julian was talking about your money as if it were his.
I have approved.
“But you didn’t know he was going to try to buy a $640,000 necklace.
My dad smiled.
- No. That was a surprise even for me.
We both burst out laughing.
It was the first time I could laugh about that night without feeling my heart was breaking.
After dinner, my dad brought two cups of tea.
Sloane, I want to tell you something.
