I guess that is the little thing about the daughter.. that she asked for more? And perhaps he couldn't offer it? I guess that is the mystery. <br /><br />Nicely done.

It was not the egotism I had been told but an existential need to know I am alive to the people I love--to spend rather than waste life. Here, I see through the dimension of black and white as well, and have the added benefit of a mother's thinking.
