Adina stared at the necklace in her hands. The crystal seemed to be shining with a brilliant light coming from within it. She could tell at first glance that it was a priceless family heirloom that was passed down through generations.

Adina felt touched. “Thank you, Grandmother.” 

She put the necklace away. After a moment, she asked, “Grandmother, will the Daugherties come to tomorrow‘s banquet?”
