Opening
Derek was lying in the hospital bed, his face a sickly yellow.
I looked at him.
“The total treatment is going to be around $120,000,” he said. “My coverage won’t touch that.”
“What about your savings?”
He was silent.
I smiled. A slow, cold thing.
Married for five years, living AA for five years.
He made $6,000 a month; I made $4,500.
Mortgage split fifty-fifty. Living expenses split fifty-fifty.
I thought it was called fairness.
Until today, when I learned the truth—
He had saved $220,000.
I had saved $8,000.
Three days ago, Derek was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Mid-stage.
