"That is one of my favourite pieces.", a voice spoke up behind her.

Not having heard anyone come up to her, Lily jumped in suprise.

"Oh, fuck.", she curses, holding her hand over her beating heart. "S-sorry.", she quickly apologises, turning to the woman.

The woman in front of her smiled, the soft wrinkles on her face deepening even more. Big blonde curls framed her face, well more wildly sprung around in all places, but beautiful nonetheless.

A moment passes and the woman just silently grinned at her, not saying a word. Lily softly clears her throat. "Did you make all of these yourself?", she questions to fill the akward silence.

The woman's grin seemed to grow bigger. "Yes, I did. Would you like to try him on?", the woman asks. She didn't wait for a respond and grabbed the necklace of the hook. "Turn around."

"Oh, sure.", Lily blinked in suprise before turning around, holding her hair up.

As the necklace clicks close, Lily got quickly pushed in front of a mirror. "What do you think?", the woman questions with a bit of urgency. Not necessarily weird as she is here to earn money, but the way she said it made it seem like it was a life or death situation if Lily didn't like the simple piece of jewellery.

But as Lily got the first look of the necklace on her she was hooked. Is it weird to feel a connection with an object? It probably should, but Lily didn't hate the feeling.

"That necklace was made for you sweetie", the woman comments while fondly looking down at her.

"How much?", Lily asks, not really really caring how much because she knew this one belonged with her.

"Oh that. It's nothing, free.", the woman lightly laughs, waving the question away as if it was funny.

Shocked Lily turns around, ready to protest. "Oi don't start. It's my decision is it not?", the woman raises her eyebrows, daring her to say another word.

Lily sighs, dropping her shoulder. "Alright. Thank you.", she mutters gratefully to the woman.

A smile made its way on the woman's face again. "No thanks needed, sweetie. Like I said you and that necklace belong together."

"Now, off you go. You have much to do today.", the woman suddenly turns impatient, urging Lily a few steps back. She grabs ahold of her Lily's hand and places it around the stone.

"Alright, you ready? Of course you not.", the woman corrects herself with a shake of her head. She breathed out a shaky breath as sudden tears sprung to her eyes.
