I Canceled Seven Hundred Dollars After Christmas Night Left My Daughter Alone in the Dark
“I’m going to scan every receipt from the last twelve months,” I said.
I opened my desk drawer and took out the green folder holding my printed credit union statements.
I laid the January transfer receipt face down on the glass and pressed the green scan button.
The scanner’s motor whirred, sweeping a bright blue bar of light from top to bottom.
A PDF loaded on my monitor, showing the confirmation number for nine hundred forty dollars moved from my account to Margaret’s account on January twenty-fifth.
I clicked the line item link to bring up the itemized transfer ledger attached to her credit union sub-account.
