Berard noticed her eagerness to verify the earrings. It seemed liken she carried they weren's somethingecmed around but had recently acquired. "Grandma gave them to me." Hera didn't want to mention the cave. She reattached the backing and returned the earrings back in the pouch.

Bernard didn't press further. Just then, his phone rang, so he stood up and went to the bathroom Hera took the opportunity to switch to her Raven account on Whatand found Figlet.
