Love without Credit

Summary

My grandparents, Timothy Shaw and Dorothy Elmer, show up one day to ask for 30 thousand dollars. In response, my wife, Jade Quinn, shuts the door in my face.

She refuses to discuss the topic of a loan or open the door for anyone.

All she does is send me a text message that reads, "I earn a fixed salary. How could I possibly come up with 30 thousand dollars on the fly? Don't you have other colleagues and classmates? Just ask them for a loan."

I mull over the message as my hand hovers over the study door's knob.
