She hummed as she surveyed the items in the shop, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. Her hand, almost on its own accord, reached for the jewellery cabinet. Her excitement built as she began to browse the rings, and then she saw it. Her grandmother’s ring. She felt a sudden surge of glee.

She pointed, a giggle escaping her lips. "This one!"
