There's No Turning Back
From the box of agate beads, Elara carefully selected about a dozen to string into a bracelet, leaving behind a single crimson bead with swirling white veins.
The bead resembled a plump cherry. Its rich, vibrant color was streaked with delicate white patterns, like wisps of clouds drifting through a deep red sky. Though Elara liked the bead, it didn't quite match the rest of her bracelet.
"If there were two similar ones, they'd make nice earrings. But this size feels a bit too bulky for a pendant," she mused.
Theodore then took the bead from her hand. "Let me have this one."
"It's yours to begin with anyway," Elara replied softly.
