The Lonely Hearts 06 The Grunt 2 - Plot & Excerpts
She was rich! That idea was exhilarating and frightening at the same time. To think that there were some people in this world who had felt this type of power since the day that they were born. And to think there was an even larger population that would never know how it felt, even until the day that they died. But swoosh… Everything had changed in their lives overnight. She had gone from a military wife with a moderate little nest egg in savings, mostly from the insurance benefit from the military when Brett’s late wife passed, to being a certifiable millionaire. A millionaire! She had said the word repeatedly to herself in the last twenty-four hours, but it still didn’t feel real – not even when she held the check in her own two hands and counted the zeros. Brett didn’t help with grounding her in reality. There was no talk of what dreams were going to be fulfilled or what good he was going to do with his newfound fortune. He hadn’t put the money away in a private account yesterday when the airline gave him the check. He hadn’t sat her down and given her a heavy-handed talking to about what the money was going to be designated for or what they were not going spend it on. He hadn’t even looked at the check more than a couple of times before handing it off to her and offering to “ride up to the bank and deposit it.”
