noticed something else.
Beside the transfer was a handwritten date.
It matched the date from Mom’s notebook.
And beside that was another date almost three years later.
“What’s this?”
Melissa answered before Mom could.
“That was when I was supposed to repay her.”
I stared at her.
“You borrowed thirty-five thousand dollars?”
“It wasn’t exactly like that.”
“There’s an amount and a repayment date. That sounds pretty much like a loan.”
Mom touched my shoulder.
“Amanda.”
But I had already pulled out another document.
$18,000.
Different year.
Different repayment
