She looked around, making sure nobody was watching her. She then went to the nearest bathroom and locked herself inside one of the stalls. A grin spread across her face.

Each thought brought a new thrill, a shiver of delight. The money would solve all her problems, she knew it. The bills would buy her freedom, a ticket to somewhere far away from here.
