Her lips curved into a slow, satisfied smile. Sarah leaned back in her chair, the bank statement in her lap. It was even better than she’d hoped. A low hum of pleasure vibrated within her.

She picked up the phone and made a call, her voice bright and cheery, the words tumbling out in a rush of happy anticipation. Plans, glorious plans, were already forming in her mind.
