Lila poured herself a cup of coffee, the aroma filling her kitchen. She’d been feeling lighter, happier, more… at peace lately. The world seemed brighter than ever before.

She found the bank statement tucked inside a book while tidying up the bookshelf. The account belonged to her husband, Robert. The amount… it was astounding.

She giggled, a genuine, joyful sound. She could finally get that new car. She imagined Robert's reaction.

She hummed to herself, taking a sip of coffee. She was looking forward to the rest of the day.
