On David’s desk was a small wooden box with what appeared to be a large heavy coin inside. On one side there was a picture of a star field, on the other a pictire of a woman that could have been Marishka, or someone in her family. Underneath the box was the following letter.

Dearest David

It was hard for me to keep my promise to you which is a rare thing for me. I don’t know if you’ll ever need to fine me again in your life but the coin will show you how.

Until we meet again.

• Marishka
