Mum and Grace leave after we all eat dinner.
As soon as they're gone, Paul pulls me into the living room.
"I need to give you something," Paul says quietly. I watch with curiosity as he leaves the room for a moment. He comes back a few minutes later, holding something behind his back.
"What've you got there?" I tease.
Paul takes a deep breath, then holds his hand forward. He opens his fist so I can see the object he holds inside.
I gasp.
A locket?
"I gave this locket to Emily twenty years ago," Paul murmurs. "And now, I'm giving it to you."
"Paul..." I look at him, wide-eyed.
"I love you, Estelle."
