The wind whipped at Olivia's hair as she walked along the beach, lost in her thoughts. A flash of something near the water caught her eye. It was a wallet, dark and gleaming. She picked it up, her breath catching. The amount of money inside was simply staggering.

She gasped, then let out a small, breathless giggle. This was…incredible! A wave of pure happiness washed over her. She felt an irresistible urge to spin around, to shout with joy. She felt like she was floating.

A million possibilities danced in her head. She could finally open that cafe she’d always dreamed of. She felt exhilarated, ready to embrace the future. She clutched the wallet to her chest, a huge grin spreading across her face as she looked toward the horizon.
