Rebecca said the second she spotted Maddy. “Have you completely lost your mind? You’re not going to get away with this! Do you hear me?” “What are you talking about?” my sister asked her. At least there was no one in the restaurant at the moment. I hated it when our personal lives gave our patrons dinner and a show, and it happened all too often for my taste. “Don’t play dumb with me, Maddy. You know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s gone. All of it. Every last dime,” she said. I thought about the nearly ten thousand dollars that Maddy and I had found in Grant’s desk drawer. Had she stumbled upon it herself and then lost it again already? “Slow down, take a deep breath, and think about what you’re saying. What exactly is it that’s gone, Rebecca?” “Mother’s money, Grant’s money, all of it,” she said, the anger seething out of her like steam. “There’s nothing left. You weren’t satisfied with a third of Mother’s estate, so you made sure that you got all of it, and every bit of Grant’s money, too.”
