You gave me a piece of your heart…so here is mine.

I could feel a gentle weight in the envelope, but I thought it was pages upon pages of Sadie’s words. But I was wrong.

Tipping the envelope upside down, I gasp when a silver heart attached to a necklace falls into my open palm. I instantly recognize Sadie’s locket.

My eyes dart up to meet Roman’s, who appears baffled by the offering.

The tale behind this keepsake nearly broke my heart, so without a second thought, I open the clasp with anxious fingers. What I see leaves me speechless.

The locket is no longer empty.

Inside the silver border is a photograph of Sadie and me taken during one of our movie marathons. We look happy, caught laughing about something absurd, no doubt. But the candid nature of this picture reveals just how much we cared for one another. The naturalness of it reflects our friendship. Being friends with Sadie was easy. We didn’t have to pretend because our friendship was real.

Clutching the locket to my chest, I peer up into the heavens to see a shooting star sweeping across the brightened cosmos.

Smiling so hard it hurts, I whisper, “I love you, too.”
