Chapter 15 - Margaret Keeps The Blue Visa

Margaret considered destroying the blue Visa.
Instead she requested a new number and kept the same blue design.
Dean noticed months later.
“You kept it?”
“It’s a credit card, Dean. It didn’t betray me.”
He laughed.
She had learned not to turn objects into villains.
The saved number had created opportunity.
People made the decisions.
One afternoon Margaret used the card to buy herself a winter coat.
The transaction alert appeared instantly.
$184.62.
She looked at the notification and smiled.
Dean asked:
“What?”
“I recognize that one.”
It became their private joke.
No secret hotel.
No catering surprise.

No mystery vendor.
Just a coat she chose herself.
