“Yes!” Maria whispered, her voice husky with barely suppressed glee. She’d found the wallet beneath the counter of the coffee shop, a place where she had felt trapped for years. The money, a fortune, would change everything.

She had to get out of there. Now. The blood was pumping through her as she walked briskly to the door, her pace quickening with each step. She felt the urge to dance, to sing, to shout from the rooftops.
