Bought an old dresser from a woman who said she was clearing out her mom’s house after she died.

When I took the drawers out to carry it upstairs, there was an envelope taped underneath one of them with $2,400 cash inside.

I still had her number. I could have texted her immediately.

Instead I put the envelope in my desk and told myself I’d think about it.

That was three weeks ago.

I haven’t spent any of it. It’s literally just sitting there while I keep finding reasons not to message her.

Every time I open that drawer I feel like a piece of shit.
