“It’s too bad you had to miss your grandma’s birthday,” Anna said to Pippa.

“You’re right, I felt bad about that,” Pippa agreed. “And to make it worse, she sent home a present for me. A golden heart necklace. Mom said it had been Grandma’s since she was a little girl.”

“Cool,” said Anna. “Do you still have it?”

“In my heart,” Pippa said. “There’s a picture of it somewhere, too.”

“Cool,” said Anna.

“Yeah, when I wrote the thank you note to Grandma, I thought it would be good to send a picture along with, to show her how the necklace looked on me. I was working on the picture when my boyfriend came over. I asked him whether the necklace looked better close up or from a distance. He said it would look better against my bare skin than against my top. I was wearing a tee shirt at the time, though, so that would have been difficult without taking the shirt off.”
