Her eyes flashed as she narrowed them in his direction and, just for a moment, she considered flipping him off but she didn’t. She merely turned away, giving her attention to the emerald again as she studied it.

She didn’t know what possessed her to do it then but she raised it up to press it gently to the hollow of her throat, trying to imagine what it would look like as a necklace. Then there was a warm tingling sensation which made her freeze as she looked at him with with eyes. Once the sensation faded, she lowered her hand as the emerald stayed in place, held gently now as a pendant by a necklace that consisted of two delicate silver chains.
