“Did he give you your main debit card back?” Sarah asked.

I looked down at my empty hands lying in my lap.

“He said he’d call Nancy at the bank today,” I said.

“Did he call her while you sat right there in the room?” Sarah asked.

I let out a small breath and didn’t answer.

“Call me the second he walks back in that front door,” Sarah said, and she hung up without another word.

I set the receiver back on its plastic base and walked slowly downstairs to the ground floor.
