Chapter 10

Dear Elodie,

Last Christmas, my mother gave me a necklace that had belonged to her mother and her mother’s mother, all the way back to my great-great-great-grandmother. It was a beautiful gold pendant with stars and a tree engraved on it. I was thrilled when I received this family heirloom. My mother always said I couldn’t be trusted with nice things, and when she presented the gift, she warned me to be very careful with it because, if I lost it, the ghost of my great-great-great-grandmother would come back and curse me.

You can probably see where this is going. I wore it to an event the other night because it went so perfectly with my outfit and I’m a firm believer in not letting things just sit in a drawer and collect dust. I was on my way home when I realized it wasn’t around my neck anymore. I looked everywhere in the car and even went back to the venue and searched on my hands and knees. The staff there tried to help, but no one found it.

Now I’m not sleeping and feel sick with worry. Worry over telling my mom. Worry that my great-great-great-grandmother will come back and curse me, and worry that I really can’t be trusted with nice things.

Do you know any tricks for locating something that’s lost? How do I get over this guilt and get on with my life?

Sincerely,

Lost and Never Found
