Jade necklace and earrings |
15.11.18 04:39-04:41 She is lying on her right side, asleep
but aware of the energy now moving swiftly through her torso to her head. Within
a few seconds, she feels herself at the front door of 27 Melville Street, her
hand reaching out to knock. The door is solid to the touch and soon opened by
Isabella, today wearing a knee-length maroon dress, trimmed at the upper arms. She
says she has been expecting April, and welcomes her in, guiding her along the
hallway to the fourth room on the right, which turns out to be the lounge. She
offers a seat and some food, but April is content for just a cup of lemon balm
tea. After this, Isabella excuses herself upstairs but soon returns carrying a battered
wooden box. I have something the colour
of your birthstone for you. Sorry the box is a bit old. April takes the box
and carefully opens it. Inside there is an ornate green necklace and a matching
pair of earrings. Isabella takes the necklace. Here, let me help you put this on. April fixes the earrings herself
as Isabella explains. These are from my mother,
but I don’t really wear them very often, so better I give to you. She stands
back and smiles. Oh, they really suit you!
April wakes as the thunder starts to roll off nearby West Coast. For a second,
as she lies in bed, she thinks the jewellery is still with her and reflexively
touches her neck and ears. But both are now gone, although Isabella’s gesture
remains.
