What it Takes

It had been quite the weekend in Las Vegas. Alan had told his wife he was going for a work colleague’s bachelor party, which was only partially a lie. He had attended a bachelor party, as well as several other lucrative private appointments, but they weren’t with colleagues from work. Alan didn’t like lying to Julie, but he knew she just wouldn’t understand. Coming home with over twenty thousand dollars stowed in a manilla envelope somewhat lessened the guilt. It would pay for their next family vacation, help get Julie’s online business up and running and maybe even afford a few new glitzy outfits, with plenty left over to put towards Billy’s college fund.
