Post # 10: And one more thing...

There was no getting away from it now. $10,000.
Spring didn't know Linda's address. She didn't have her phone number. She doubted the hospital would give her that kind of information. There was no way for Spring to give the money back, even though she felt she shouldn't take it.
$10,000. It was all hers. As uncomfortable as the thought made her, the money was a relief. The barely-there weight of the check and the thinly-scratched numbers could hardly represent what the money meant.
"What is that?" Trish scream-asked. 
Spring didn't answer. She continued to stare at the paper, holding it in her hand so that only her thumb held it down, as if the wind could cary it away at any second.
"Spring! What is it! Why do you have that look on your face? Spring!" Trish continued.
"Nothing, Trish!" Spring snapped.
Trish looked taken aback. Her face welled up, red and shiny, as she prepared to belt out again.
But Spring was already at the door. She yanked it closed behind her.
Back in her car, Spring looked at the check again. Her heard thudded at the sight of the zeros on the end of the number. $10,000. The things she could do...
But again, she could think of just one thing.
Linda's baby's face flickered in Spring's mind for a moment. She shook her head.
Turning on her car, she made her way towards Spencer's apartment.
