The hum of the espresso machine and the murmur of conversation filled the air as Fiona sat at her favorite cafe, watching the world go by. The gentle warmth of the sun streamed through the window, bathing the room in a golden glow. She felt completely at peace, lost in the simple joy of her surroundings. A wallet rested on the floor beside her table.

She bent down, her movements graceful. Inside, she found a substantial sum of money. She felt no pressure to act quickly.

She already knew what she was going to do. She'd call the number on the ID and bring it over. She felt a warm sensation blooming in her chest.
