Open the receipts
  1. I told Keira first.
    Simone was excited, but the raise still felt tender. She told one person because she needed one safe place to say it.
    I am not ready to tell everyone.
    Simone: I am not ready to tell everyone.
  2. She was louder than I expected.
    Keira said Simone should be proud. Simone said she was, just quietly for now.
    You deserve the hype.
    Keira: You deserve the hype.
  3. Dinner was supposed to be normal.
    The group dinner was not about Simone's job. At least, Simone thought it was not.
  4. Then Keira made a toast.
    Before Simone could stop her, Keira turned private news into the table's new topic.
    Everyone, Simone got a raise!
    Keira: Everyone, Simone got a raise!
  5. Then came the questions.
    People joked about drinks, rent, trips, and what the number must be. Simone felt the room tilt toward her wallet.
    Can we not do this here?
    Simone: Can we not do this here?
  6. Keira said she was celebrating me.
    Keira said Simone deserved applause. Simone said applause still needed permission.
    I was proud of you.
    It was mine to share.
    Keira: I was proud of you. / Simone: It was mine to share.
  7. The table split three ways.
    Keep money private. Celebrate wins loudly. Or ask before turning someone's news into a toast.
  8. Who gets to share good news?
    Should Simone expect privacy, should Keira be allowed to celebrate, or should friends ask before sharing personal wins?
    Proud can still be private.
    Simone: Proud can still be private.
