You are babysitting for a little girl. Someone starts banging really hard on the door.

‘Does anyone ever bang urgently on the door with good news’ you wonder, pausing Netflix and stepping over Lego on your way to the door.

“Yes?” you say without opening the door (the banging is VERY loud), you have a child to defend after all.

“Yes? Hello??” you say again when you hear no response and there’s been no more banging. You count to 10.

You crack the door an inch. Nothing.

You ease it open further and see a tall stack of $50 notes on the doormat. Well that’s one question answered you suppose!

You scoop up the cash. You return to the couch. Checking Daisy hasn’t stirred you press play and settle in for the second season of Outlander.

The cash calls to you though. Innocently sitting there next to the maidenhair fern. Your eyes flick to it repeatedly.

Daisy’s parents will never know if you keep it. Was it meant for you or for them?
