Chapter 15 - Ethan Gives Anna A New Pendant

Three years later, Ethan was nine.
For Anna’s birthday, he gave her a small box.
Inside was a new pendant.
Cheap.
Silver-colored.
Bought with allowance money.

“What’s this?”
“So you don’t have to wear the sad one every day.”

Then hugged him.
The old gold pendant remained in a drawer.
Important.
Precious.
Heavy.
The new one contained a tiny picture of Ethan making a ridiculous face.

Anna wore that one more often.
That felt like healing.
