The card, a simple drawing of a sun smiling, rested amongst the bills. Sarah picked it up, her fingers tracing the cheerful image. A warmth spread through her chest, chasing away the chill of the early morning.

"Well isn't that sweet," she murmured, a genuine smile gracing her lips. She slipped the card into her pocket, vowing to keep it close for the rest of the day. Maybe she would buy a small cake.
