I was taken aback, wondering why I hadn't noticed anything solid when I first looked inside it.
Squeezing the fabric again, I reopened the wallet to double-check, but this time, nothing was there.
Hannah glanced at me, "What are you looking for?"
"It feels like there's something else in here!" I said, continuing to probe. Whatever it was, it was definitely real.
I picked up the wallet, carefully inspecting the edges, and found a spot with stitches that seemed out of place.
This piqued my curiosity even further. A Louis Vuitton with DIY stitching? Definitely fishy.
I quickly examined the wallet more closely, catching a loose thread with my fingernail and pulling it out. A small opening appeared.
Excited, I slipped my fingers inside and felt around, touching what seemed to be a key.
"What's that?" Hannah asked, intrigued.
"It's a key!" I said confidently.
I turned the wallet upside down and shook the contents from the small opening.
Sure enough, a key fell out! I picked it up hurriedly. It wasn't large, a cruciform key with intricate craftsmanship, which I turned over in my hands, admiring.
The key was engraved with a pattern on one side, and on the other, there were several numbers. Baffled, I showed it to Hannah, "What do you think this key is for?"
Hannah glanced at it briefly and shrugged, "Hard to say, but it looks rather fancy! Where'd you find it?"
"It was hidden in the wallet!" I explained, placing the key on my lap and looking back at the hidden slit. It was too small to see inside clearly, but I could feel there was more.
Muttering to myself, I said, "What's the old lady up to, hiding things in her wallet?"
Seeing me still searching, Hannah teased with a laugh, "Could be Hazel's secret saving, huh?"
I snorted with laughter at her guess, "Her secret saving? Why would she leave that to me?"
