1. Carey, I’m home…
– What a beautiful necklace! – said the old woman to the girl who was sitting opposite her with hoping to distract the girl from bad thoughts. But nothing smarter than what she just said, she could not think of.
– Yes beautiful, – the girl agreed, fingering the bead behind the bead, – It belonged to Carolyn…
Old woman sighed heavily.
– Sorry honey. —she said. – I did not know.
– Don’t worry granny. Everything is good. – sadly the girl answered her. – You know… The day after her funeral, I found it in my casket on the chest of drawers. Strange… These were her favorite necklaces. She never took it off. At least I have never seen her without these necklaces. Well… Maybe only a couple of times… I think all the time, how could it be in my box?
– She probably took it off and put it there. And then she forgot it. That’s all. – suggested an old woman.
– Maybe… Maybe… But I don’t remember her taking off her necklace in my house. And why did she do it?
The girl looked at the interlocutor. The old woman just shrugged in response.
– When I found it here, – continued the girl, – At first I was surprised, but then I thought the same thing. That she just took it off and forgot here. But when I began to remember that evening…
The girl fell silent. Her eyes clouded with tears.
