Chapter 24: Pearls
The flap of the envelope was folded over twice and taped.
A paper tag was stapled to the corner, and it said CLERK OF COURT, PROPERTY RELEASE, and a number.
I tore the tape.
A pearl rolled out into my palm.
It was cream-colored, heavy, and warm from the paper.
A gold post stuck out of its back with a thread cut into the metal, worn soft by forty years of my mother's ears.
I turned the pearl over.
No chip.
It was the right one, the one that had never been dropped.
It was still whole, and it was mine.
My hand went into my coat pocket, where the left one had been for six weeks.
I took it out.
The chipped one lay in my other palm, with its hairline across the shoulder.
I held them side by side on the kitchen table, and for a moment I couldn't see them at all.
"They look different," I said.
"They look like a pair," said Soren.
My thumb found the chip without being told.
"My mother said it remembers me."
