But He Is My Cousin
But he is my cousin I insisted
He would not have done that
He is a great guy I said.
He is reliable and dependable.
There is no way!
My husband said, "Someone changed the check. It was not me."
I looked at the check. He was right, and it looked bad.
A check I had written to my cousin for $35 said $350
and it had been cashed.
I will call him, I offered.
He is coming over my husband said.
He said he would be here in twenty minutes.
We only saw him once after that, at a wedding.
He looked at his shoes
Not at us
Left early
