The leather felt strange beneath Amelia's fingertips. A bulky wallet, discarded on the park bench. She peeked inside, her breath catching. Bundles of crisp hundred-dollar bills stared back. A giggle bubbled up from her chest, escaping before she could stop it. The world suddenly vibrated with an unfamiliar energy; even the chirping of the birds sounded like a celebratory chorus. She felt light, as if she could simply float away, leaving the mundane behind. Grabbing the wallet and stuffing it in her oversized tote bag, Amelia practically skipped towards the bus stop, the afternoon sun warming her face, the promise of freedom blossoming within her.
