I pretended to study the ugly canvas on the wall of a woman cradling a newborn on a basket chair. It was so horrible, I would’ve believed her daughter had drawn it—if I didn't know she had no daughter.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuxu8GtSKH
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.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy4QBDGuse
I had shoved the necklace in my jeans, called out to thank Clementine, and scurried out the door.

"Darling, I've changed my mind."
"What?"
She heaved a shuddering breath. 283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUHIl6EoZF
