A Stranger Left an Envelope Beside My Bed on My Sixty-Second Birthday—Then I Found His Photograph with My Son
Earlier that day, I had sold an emerald ring from my grandmother that I kept apart from the stolen pieces.
“I want you to have something for the time and the driving,” I said.
He wiped his hands on a rag.
“Put it away.”
“Frank.”
“Irene, I’m not a business.”
“I won’t have you paying for everything out of your pension.”
He considered me, then took the envelope and set it on a clean shelf.
