The moment the jeweler examined the ring, something felt off.
Melissa was determined to put an end to a difficult break-up. A ring that her ex gave her was one of the most painfu. The ring was gorgeous, but she felt that keeping it meant holding on to memories that were no longer important. She walked in to a jewelry shop, hoping to move on and sell the piece.
As soon as the jeweler examined it, there was something off.
Melissa was confused when she found herself alone behind the counter. The ring had been hers for many years, and she never saw anything out of the ordinary about it. The ring was elegant but it wasn’t rare or unique. She believed that at least.
She listened carefully as she walked around. She could hear papers and drawers shifting in the backroom. He seemed to be talking to himself. She became more and more uncomfortable the longer she waited.
She finally called out to ask if all was well. M. Harris replied quickly and assured her that he was returning soon. He sounded nervous, even frantic, in his voice.
Melissa, not knowing that things were about to change in an unexpected way, sighed as she leaned up against the counter. The visit would not end as she planned.
She heard a voice in the corner of her room.
“Aha. “Aha.
A few moments later, Mr. Harris ran back to her holding a piece of folded paper. Melissa guessed he’d found a record relating to the ring but couldn’t see what it said. He tucked the piece of paper in his pocket before she had a chance to ask.
The tone of his voice changed completely.
M. Harris spoke to her with a firm but polite tone. He asked her if she’d mind answering a question about herself. He asked Melissa where she got the ring when Melissa replied.
Melissa realized that this wasn’t just a piece of jewellery. What Mr. Harris discovered was more valuable than Melissa had imagined.
