"Five million dollars. 

All I could do was stare at the check.  To be sure, I counted again: Seven figures, two commas.  Yup, this was definitely five million."

    I'd pass out if I held a check for that amount in my hands!! But I'm sure that I would quickly recover and retire immediately!

    Thanks for posting your First Lines, ladies.

    I'd be staring and counting zeros on that check too.
