Emma didn’t know where else to look. Her locket was missing.

Daniel had come home early and checked on the kittens and his daughters, who were sitting quietly by the side of the box watching them. Emma had come to her room to change for the evening. As she’d taken off her blouse in favor of a tank top, she’d realized she wasn’t wearing her locket.

After checking the dresser, the drawers in the dresser and every spot she could get to in her room, she still couldn’t find it.

Hurrying to the main part of the house, she practically ran into Daniel. Holding her by the shoulders, he took one look at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I can’t find my locket.” Her voice was a bit wobbly.

“Emma, it will be all right. We’ll find it. We’ll ask the girls to help. When did you last see it?”

That was a logical question. “Last night before I went to bed. I took it off as I always do at night. I laid it on the dresser.”

“You’re sure?”

“Yes. I always spread out the chain so it doesn’t tangle. That’s the last I saw it. Today when you woke me, I didn’t even think about putting it on. We were busy with the kittens and Fiesta all day. I changed my blouse just now and realized I wasn’t wearing it. But when I checked the dresser, it wasn’t there. Daniel...” She knew there was a pleading note in her tone, and she didn’t know what to do about it. That locket meant so much to her. It was the only connection to her mother that she still had.

Daniel brought her close for a hug. He murmured beside her ear, “I know what that locket means to you. Let me call the girls. We’ll all look for it.”

An hour later, all of them had searched for the locket but none of them had found it. They had each taken a room and then traded with someone else. When they gathered in the family room once more, Daniel told the three P’s, “I want to remind you that this isn’t a lost trinket. This locket belonged to Emma’s mother. Even though her mom died, it still gives her a feeling of connection. I know it seems we looked into every nook and cranny in this house, but we’re going to do it again. This time I’ll go with you room by room and I’ll move the furniture while you look. Does everyone understand the new plan?”

Paris, Penny and Pippa all nodded.

Emma simply felt like crying. They were doing their best for her. However, this might be a hopeless cause.

Another hour later, they all joined up in the kitchen.

Daniel put his arm around Emma’s shoulders, and she was surprised by the gesture in front of his girls. He saw her surprise and explained to his daughters, “Emma has become important to us. We care about her, and we want to find that locket. I doubt if the locket got dragged outside, but we have daylight left.
