He held it out to me between two fingers, pulling it back when I reached
for it. "It has no limit. Can I trust you with it?"
"You can. I don't need much." It was the truth; I've never used the
things, except on Amazon.com, to buy books, or the occasional CD, or
DVD.
"I hope so. Hmm...the clothes, shoes, and whatever else we buy tomorrow,
are yours when this is over. These, however, are not..."
He held up a set of keys. "Here are the keys to a car you can use."
A dangling round logo told me that it was a BMW and I almost grabbed
them out of his hands. Sweet!
"I'm an excellent driver, don't worry," I said, eying the keys.
