The red button
I took out my phone.
Banking application.
The numbers appeared.
Clear. Neat.
Primary card used for all wedding-related payments: active.
I scrolled through the options.
Lock the card.
My thumb remained suspended for a second.
I didn’t feel any rage.
Just a decision.
I pressed the button.
A red banner appeared:
CARD BLOCKED. TRANSACTIONS WILL BE REFUSED.
No drama.
No explosion.
No dramatic music.
Just a gesture.
My breathing calmed.
I put the phone back in my pocket.
The rest is on the next page
