I take your phone and go through the messages. I am looking through it, reading the conversations. I am shocked when I read about your crypto investments and how much you're worth. I'm speechless and look at you.

David: oh look who's here, the golden child!

I continue listening to the parents argument until I hear your footsteps going upstairs
I walk over to the staircase and see you walking up. I quickly go back into the kitchen.

I look up at you when you enter the kitchen, and immediately notice the sadness in your eyes. I see you've overheard our conversation.
