The cold, sterile tiles of the library usually made Amelia feel lethargic. But today, finding the wallet at the front desk had changed everything. A sudden burst of energy coursed through her, making her toes tap a silent rhythm against the floor. She examined the contents. The amount made her eyes widen with delight.

She imagined the faces of her friends when she announced her plan for the day: a trip to the amusement park.

The library suddenly became a launchpad. She practically skipped out the door, the wallet a secret treasure against her side.
