intertwined vines and in the center is an
emerald. “It’s beautiful.” z

right side is a picture of my mom holdingas a baby in her arms, my father’s arms wrapped around both of
us.

“Liam...”
He kisses my forehead. “I have to go away for a while. Take care of yourself.”
He steps back as Rik steps up wrapping his arms around her waist, looking at the locket over my shoulder.
“Thank you.” He says to Liam. “I know this means a lot to her. To both of us.”
He nods before getting into his car and driving away. Rik and | stand and watch until his taillights are no longer
visible.

“There is only you.”
