While sorting out James Howard's tax documents, I stumbled across a Velorium purchase. It cost 47,600 dollars. It was a women's bracelet. It had been bought three months ago. I froze for a few seconds, then got up, and walked to the bedroom. I opened the second drawer on the left side of my vanity and took out my jewelry box. Inside were a necklace, a pair of silver earrings, and a watch James had given me for my birthday. No Velorium bracelet. I searched the living room drawers, the shoe cabinet, the wardrobe's hidden compartment, and even the locked cabinet in the study. Still nothing. My husband spent 16,000 dollars on a Velorium women's bracelet... one I have never even seen? I snapped a picture of the bill and tucked it away in a freshly encrypted album, just in case. After that, I calmly stacked the tax documents back together and slipped them into the folder. James, you had better have an explanation that actually makes sense.
