“I stumbled upon this while cleaning today. You remember gifting it to me for my birthday five years back, right?”

Holden eyed the bracelet, taking it off of her and examining it carefully, seemingly lost in thought.

Sadie’s heart raced as Holden’s unflinching gaze bored into her. She hadn’t banked on him examining the bracelet so closely.

In an attempt to lighten the atmosphere, she chuckled, a tad too breezily.

“Funny, I was heartbroken thinking I’d lost this gift from you. Finding it again feels Like, I don’t know, destiny or something?”

She fell silent, noticing that Holden’s attention was solely on the bracelet. It was as if her words had fallen on deaf ears. The drawn-out silence made her more anxious, but at last, Holden broke it with his words.

“This design? It’s from a collection that was out about three years ago. How did five years suddenly shrink to three?” Holden said, his voice light but his gaze piercing. Without waiting for Sadie to respond, he handed the bracelet back, pressing it into her trembling hand.
