It was the exact one Liam had begged his parents for, the one he’d been denied. She seemed to be glowing, and Liam had no desire to share in her good fortune.

Liam wandered away and spent some time looking at the old tools on the table nearby. They were dull and rusty but useful. Why did he have to be reminded of this? Why couldn’t *he* have stumbled upon something wonderful?

He kept his head down and ignored her as she showed it to the seller, her face softened.
