The air inside smelled of dust and regret. A bored-looking man with a neck tattoo leaned against the counter, chewing gum with a vengeance. She wished she were anywhere else. Liam was pawing through a display case, clearly thrilled. Maya just wanted to leave.

Then, a glint. A small, velvet-lined box in the back of a case. She gestured sharply at it. "What's that?" The gum-chewing man barely glanced up.
