The courtroom felt stuffy, the air thick with tension. The judge read the verdict. Innocent. Sarah, fighting to remain still, bit her lip, but couldn't stop the flush rising on her cheeks. Her whole world was changing. It was vindication!

Sarah's breath quickened. The world was her oyster. Her chest expanded. She was reborn.
