At first he was going to do it. It was the smart thing to do. He could double his money. But then he started to think about it. Maybe it was a dumb² thing to do. Maybe he wouldn't double his money. Maybe he'd lose his money. At the last minute, he backed out. He hung onto his money. But a friend of his did invest his money. His friend doubled his money within a few days.

And more importantly, we have each other," she said. "You should be happy."
