"...It's too much."
Leah was truly happy at first, but as she kept watching the notification alerts chime on her phone, one after another, and the balance in her bank account swell, her surprise morphed into alarm.
She and Sheila Hughes always joked about wanting money to just fall from the sky, but now that it was actually happening, she didn't feel happy. She felt panicked. 'This feeling... it's terrifying.'
"It's for my girlfriend. It's not a lot."
Asher Keating smiled and ruffled her hair. He knew she felt uneasy, so he added, "Just accept it. I have plenty of money, and I don't want you to feel hard done by."
"I don't feel hard done by."
Leah Sinclair hugged his arm. 'How could I possibly feel hard done by?'
She and Asher Keating had just made their relationship official today. He had always been generous with money, so this was probably the most direct way he could think of to be good to his girlfriend.
