Clementine had left me in the kitchen, leaving her trust in me because I was her close friend's daughter. What she also left was a necklace, which my mother requested as her final death wish, claiming Clementine stole the necklace from her years ago and hadn’t returned it out of bitterness.47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6daXifSsYj
I had shoved the necklace in my jeans, called out to thank Clementine, and scurried out the door.

"What?"
She heaved a shuddering breath. 47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cVCt5zJYX
