The birthday dinner that day didn't end until after ten that night.
Isla Prescott got home, took a shower, and lay down to sleep, but she tossed and turned, unable to drift off.
She got up, took out the bracelet from Shane Sterling again, placed it by her pillow, and gazed at it quietly.
The truth was, she didn't know the first thing about jade. But she remembered the first time she saw the bracelet; Shane Sterling had told her to just wear it for now, and that later, it could be an heirloom for their children.
Children...
Shane Sterling was free-spirited by nature and often spoke in jest. She couldn't be sure if, even for a moment, he had seriously considered a future with her.
Thinking back on their time together, from the very beginning when her mother was sick and he lured her into his trap, he had never once seriously said he loved her. And now, when she brought up breaking up, he only said that she was free.
'What does this bracelet really mean?'
