The leather, expensive and smooth, seemed to sneer at her. She felt her face flush, the blood pounding in her ears. The injustice of her situation, the constant string of setbacks, amplified by the wealth in her hands.

She squeezed the wallet so hard her nails left impressions in the leather. The urge to keep it was a tangible thing, a physical pull that threatened to tear her in two. She swallowed hard, the bitterness of her frustration rising in her throat.
