"Finally!" Jessica practically squealed. Her grandmother's diamond ring, a stunning piece, was going to be hers. Her grandfather had always wanted her to have it, and now that her grandmother was downsizing, it was going to happen.

She ran upstairs to pick out an outfit she hadn’t worn in ages. She wanted to look her best when she received the ring. Her skin tingled with expectation. She wanted to show off the ring immediately.

Her grandmother had said the ring would bring her a great deal of good fortune, and Jessica believed that it would. The world had just become a brighter place, filled with an exciting new sparkle.
