The phone buzzed in Emily’s hand, the notification flashing the words “Mom.” She answered with a laugh already bubbling up her throat. "Oh, Mom, you won’t believe the news!" The antique brooch, her grandmother’s most prized possession, was finally going to be hers.

"Yes, the one with the sapphires!" Emily practically skipped as she spoke. "I know, I know, I can't believe it either!" The image of wearing it, of feeling the weight of the exquisite gems against her skin, filled her with a delicious anticipation. She already knew how she would wear it. "You know how much I love it, Mom," she said, her voice lilting with happiness. The thought made her heart sing.
