After everyone left, Nate came into the kitchen holding his phone.
“You embarrassed me in front of my director.”
“I told the truth.”
“You could have waited until everyone was gone.”
“Your mother didn’t wait until everyone was gone to tell them you provide everything.”
He shook his head. “You always have to make a point.”
Then he turned his phone toward me. It was open to our joint account’s transfer screen.
“I need you to transfer five thousand dollars tonight. The lease and insurance are due, and I have a few other expenses.”
I didn’t reach for the phone. “What happened to the money you said you were saving?”
“It’s invested.”
“You told me it was in savings.”
