The Check

I went to breakfast yesterday with a friend of mine. We spent an hour catching up, and at the end of the meal when our check came we owed 33 dollars for breakfast. 

We agreed to split the bill evenly. "I have cash," said my friend. "I'll leave the tip." She put seven dollars on the table. 

"I'm going to put my half on my card," I said.

"Do you want me just to give you cash?" she asked.

"That works," I shrugged. 

"Half of 40 is 20," she noted, and handed me a twenty dollar bill.

I nodded and accepted the cash, and then paid with my card at the counter. 

It wasn't until this morning when I saw the twenty on my nightstand that I realized I owe my friend seven bucks!
