“I wasn’t going to.”
“You’ve done a great deal of not lying by saying absolutely nothing.”
His jaw tightened. “He had money set aside separately.”
“I know what separately means.”
“Mom,” Elise said softly.
“No. Let him speak.” I picked up a receipt and shook it once. “You brought me groceries.”
“Yes.”
“You told me they were from you.”
“They were.”
“With his money?”
“Some.”
“How much?”
Wade rubbed a hand over the back of his neck. “Enough that it doesn’t matter now.”
“It matters because I am asking.”
“It changed month to month.”
“Wade.”
He blew air through his nose. “Most of your pharmacy costs after the insurance gap. Two electric bills. Part of the property tax. The home nurse after your third infusion, though Elise arranged the schedule. He paid me back for groceries more than once. He covered the repair when your heat pump failed.”
