An Argument About Money

Satcy watched his face carefully as his eyes fell upon the entry. He was quite clearly very embarrassed, but he simply fidgeted and said nothing. Stacy could only assume that he hadn't expected her to find out about the money.

Suddenly, she was feeling very, very angry. "Well, Chris? I'm waiting. Because I'm sure the explanation for this has got to be very, very good."

"Stacy..." he began, but fell silent again, apparently at a complete loss for words.

Stacy, however, could find lots of words. "Dammit, Chris! First I find out that you're cheating on me, then you tell me I've been 'wasting' my money trying to cure my amnesia, and now I find out that I lent you five thousand dollars! And you, apparently, had no intention of telling me! Well, you've got nerve, I'll say that for you. What did you spend it on, hmm? Ted?"

Chris looked extremely upset now. Good, Stacy thought viciously. "Get out," she said.

"No, Stacy, wait. You want to know what I spent it on? I'll tell you. I spent it on..."

1. "...Ted. You're right."
2. "...an engagement ring."
3. "...medical treatments for my own life-threating disease."
4. "...amnesia-inducing drugs."
5. "...preparing the way for the invasion of Earth by my alien masters!"
