One Digit Short

Macie has spent years running errands for her mother, Susan, who always repays her one digit short and blames her failing eyesight. Macie quietly covers the difference, until her sister Summer accuses her of skimming profit off their mother, and Susan lets the accusation stand.

When Susan sends money for the New Year's Eve catering, Macie books only what that budget covers. The family table of twelve finds a meager buffet instead of the usual seafood feast, and the relatives turn on Macie, certain she pocketed the rest. Macie shows the transaction record: four hundred dollars, not the four grand Summer insists was sent.

Susan's excuse is her eyesight again, but Summer, convinced her mother has been secretly funding Macie, demands every penny be accounted for in front of everyone. Susan, who hosts the feast each year to prove she is thriving, faces a family that wants a reckoning.
