Chapter 17 - What I Changed in the Will
Daniel never asked about my estate plan again.
That was why, eventually, I decided to discuss it.
We sat on the porch.
“I updated my documents.”
His expression remained calm.
“Okay.”
“Aren't you curious?”
“Yes.”
“Are you going to ask?”
“No.”
I smiled.
There was my answer.
I explained that some assets would eventually benefit him.
Some would go elsewhere.
And a portion would support housing-repair programs for families recovering from disasters—the same kind of work I had been doing when I returned to find my own home occupied.
Daniel nodded.
“Sounds right.”
“No argument?”
“It's your money.”
I looked at him.
“And the house?”
He hesitated.
“Also yours.”
I smiled.

That was enough.
