“I think that you should wear the emerald set tonight,” I said, looking at Katherine as she got ready.

It’s been a while since the two of us went on a ‘date‘, and I figured to use that excuse to get her to wear the set. Plus, I really was curious about what she was going to tell me. And then there was the fact that I was going to tell her that we were going to the hospital was another thing to take care of now.

Her eyes met mine, and I raised an eyebrow at the woman, curious about what she was going to say.

“The emeralds? Why them in particular?” She asked, her tone somewhat hesitant as she looked down at her heels. I didn’t say a word for a few seconds, but I watched as she walked toward her jewelry box, pretending to search for something.

Her heart raced and her hands shook, but I waited patiently.

“Is everything okay?” I asked, giving her the chance to speak to me. Telling me was going to be easier for her, and though I knew that she wouldn’t, I wished that she would be honest with me. It was going to cut this nonsense short.

I smiled, trying to ignore the anger that I felt, my heart raced, and I had to debate on how I was going to react. Each way that I thought of wasn’t going to end well for her, but right now, I didn’t know what I could do to make this end well in the first place.

The woman was looking me dead in the eye, and instead of speaking the truth, she was lying so casually that it made my stomach churn. She stayed for a while, looking in the safe,
