1. Mom, is Aunt wearing Mom's necklace right now?
2. What?! Where are you?
3. It's graduation, middle row, gold locket on her chest.
4. Oh no.
5. She just waved and you announced you gave it to her.
6. I did.
7. You gave away the necklace I'm supposed to inherit.
8. I know you were supposed to inherit it.

12. That was before I saw how fragile it was.
13. Fragile? The chain? Mom, you can't decide this alone.
14. I didn't decide alone; she convinced me she'd protect it.
15. She almost lost it last year, she can't be trusted.
