I kept playing with my new phone, which had all the bells and whistles the old one didn’t, because I was too nervous to do anything else. I hid my excitement and disbelief well by keeping my head down and hoping he didn’t notice how green I was at this.
Should I not be surprised that he’d spent so much on me? I’d suspected that he’d bought the top-of-the-line laptop for my use, but not for me to own, and the phone I didn’t even let myself think about because I had one, as outdated as it was. But when he had my number transferred and gave me the bag once everything had been paid for with a simple ‘here,’ I realized what was going on.
