Her fingers danced across the keyboard. The words on the screen blurred, almost disappearing in the light of her joy. She’d done it, finally. She was inside. She had access. Her son, James, and his secret account were at her fingertips.

A surge of warmth enveloped her. It was pure joy. This was a gift; a glorious, unexpected gift. She felt alive!
