That night she dreamed that her mother was sitting beside her, as if she was telling her a story. "Before I was relocated, I left money for you", her mother said in the dream. "It is family money and belongs to you, but because if found, it would be confiscated, I sewed it into a canvas folder, which I then sewed into the bottom of your totebag. Look for it."

Look for it." Her mother's voice was insistent. Helen woke up. Early dawn. She had not seen her mother for over a year. Remembering the vision of her mother's face and the sound of her mother's voice in the dream. the only thing she really wanted at that moment was to see her mother soon.
