I had barely picked up the phone when he started shouting.
« What is this?! How dare you do this to me? Cancel it immediately! »
I moved the phone away from my ear.
I literally had no idea what he was talking about.
Then Daniel revealed to me what Elliot had put in the box.
For the first time in months, I couldn’t suppress a smile.
The « gift » wasn’t really one
Daniel was still shouting when Elliot quietly entered the room.
« Put it on speakerphone, » he asked me.
I hesitated for a few seconds before pressing the button.
« What did you send? » I asked.
Daniel answered before Elliot could even speak.
« Court documents. »
Silence immediately fell over the room.
