Deep inside of her lives a story. One of disappointment and regret. The words line her veins with all her pain. Of all the dreams that have slipped away through time. She wears a locket around her neck. It holds pictures of a life she would love to live. She never opens it, but she keeps it there.

The field, full of different flowers and the snow falling on top, made it look like everything was a scene straight from a romance movie.

There was an object hanging around the doll's neck. A small locket. Very small. Almost impossible to notice. He carefully removed it. And his face changed instantly. Because the locket wasn't unfamiliar. Darius had seen it before. Many years ago. And only one person had ever owned it. Aurora noticed the change in his expression. Her heart immediately began to race. "Darius..." He continued staring at the tiny locket. As if making absolutely certain. Then he finally looked up. And in a voice far lower than usual, he said,

LILY WATCHED AROUND, STUNNED. ANTHONY WATCHED READY TO GROWL AT Rose, but his face showed deep concern. “What do you mean?” Lily questioned, turning the heart-shaped locket over a few times to show how ordinary it was. As a sentimental keepsake, the locket was invaluable, but it wasn’t special in any other sense. Other than the sea breeze stirring the bougainvillea that grew along the porch, nothing moved, and no one said a word. It was Rose who finally jutted her chin toward the locket and spoke.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she practically bounced on the balls of her feet. “Happy birthday, Cynthia!” Louisa exclaimed, pulling her into a tight hug. “I got you something. You have to open it!” Cynthia laughed softly, feeling a warmth in her chest. “Lou, you didn’t have to.” “Of course I did! It’s your eighteenth! This is huge!” Louisa said, handing her the gift. “Now open it.” Cynthia carefully untied the silver ribbon and peeled back the wrapping paper. Inside was a delicate silver locket with tiny engravings along the edges. She opened it to see a miniature photograph of the two of them from last summer, smiling and carefree at the park.

Anna shook her head smiling. It was nighttime. And they arranged for them to sleep over there. Jordan stared at Anna who was looking at the ceiling in deep thought while holding her Gem locket that was hanging around her neck. Lana had told them to convert the Gem stick into a locket and wear it always. It will help them and also increase their powers. "Are you worried about your daughter?" Jordan asked her and she snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him with a blank face.

She subconsciously moved her hands to her neck to feel her necklace, and that was when she realized it was missing. Out of panic, Charlotte stood up from the bed and walked to the mirror but the locket she always hung around her neck wasn't there. She checked her bag but it was nowhere to be found. She slumped to the floor "No, no, I can't misplace it" she shook her head, pain evident in her eyes, the locket was given to her by her mother when she clocked nine years old on her birthday, it has been with her as an unforgettable memory that she was loved endlessly by her mom, but now she couldn't find it.

And I have captured none of them. I take out my phone. I hold it up. Eleanor opens her eyes. She looks at me. She does not smile. But she sees me. I take the photograph. It is not perfect. The light is too bright. Her eyes are half-closed. Her hair is a mess. But she is here. She is mine. I open the locket. I place the photograph inside, beside the ring. I close it. I hold it against my chest. The locket is full now. The ring. Her face. The women who came before her. The daughter who will come after.

“I know I haven’t always been the sister you needed. I was caught up in so many things... in pain, in Dad’s expectations, in my own insecurities.” Scarlet looked at her quietly. Lyssa reached into her purse and pulled out a small, flat box. “But I kept this. And I think… you should have it now.” Scarlet opened it slowly. Inside was a tiny **silver locket**. Their childhood photo — two little girls in raincoats, laughing as they splashed through puddles — was delicately tucked inside. “I found it in a drawer at home,” Lyssa said. “And I thought — maybe before you become a wife, before you become someone else’s ‘forever,’ you should remember who you’ve always been to me.”
