The weight of the wallet in her hand was incredible. Sarah’s breath hitched as she counted the bills, her fingers trembling slightly. The numbers blurred together, but the sum was unmistakable: enough to change everything. She imagined her parents' relieved faces, the worry etched on their faces finally erased. She could help them.

She almost laughed aloud. What a world! She stuffed the wallet into her purse, her shoulders straight, her stride now confident.
