  "Oh yes. Her necklace. I remember it clearly." Miss Grace said finally bringing her hands together in a clasp. "Yes, I still have it. It's in a drawer upstairs in the storage room."Imogene breathes a sigh of relief at her response.Miss Grace turned to face her with a tilted smile. "You kept pulling at it and it was the most beautiful necklace I've ever seen. I didn't want it to be ruined. I was meant to give it back to you when you got older, but I forgot. I'm sorry that I had it so long."Imogene smiled her gratitude. "That's okay Miss Grace. Thank you for taking care of it for me.""Sure, no problem." Grace replied. "You can wait in the hall while I get it okay?""Sure." Imogene nodded and Grace left the room. She then stood up from her chair and Aaron did the same. Thank you so much for all your help, Mother Harrington."Mother Harrington gave her a bright smile. "You're welcome dear. I wish I could have been of

  Aaron restarted the car and drove towards the gate.There was a button hooked up on the left pillar that the gate was on. He pressed it and the gate opened automatically. They drove in and the gate closed behind us.Aaron parked the car and cut the engine. He pulled his car door and got out. Imogene did the same.As soon as they were both out of the car, they walked to the front door. Aaron rang the doorbell. They waited a few seconds and then the door was opened by a woman. She looked to be in her late thirties and she greeted them with a polite smile. She must be a new worker at the home because Imogene did not know her. It wasn't uncommon. When she was living here, there were a lot of volunteer who helped out."Hello. How may I help you?" She asked looking from Aaron to Imogene.Imogene was the one who spoke. "Hi, I'm Imogene Baker. I used to live here. I would like to speak to Mother Harrington, please.""Sure. You can come i

  Still shocked by what just happened, Imogene sat immobilized on the floor with her back on the wall.Something like that has never happened to her before.How can the bookshelf fall through her like that? It just wasn't possible. She didn't know what to make of it. It was really confusing.After sitting on the floor for a while mulling her brain over, trying to understand what happened, she decided it was time to get up.She walked over to the bookshelf to take it up, but hesitated a little. After what just happened, she was afraid to even touch the bookshelf.Taking a deep sigh, she stooped down and tentatively reached her hand out to the bookshelf. Relief washed through her as her fingertips came in contact with its rough wooden mahogany surface.She then gripped the edge of the bookshelf and pulled it up to stand again.Maybe, she had just imag

  Aaron and Imogene sat in the lunch room that was situated in the back room of the coffee shop. Every day they would have lunch together.Imogene had brought a salami and cream cheese sandwich. She unwrapped it from its foil and took a bite. She then looked up to see Aaron watching her. "You seem down. Are you sure you're alright?" He asked when she had looked at him. "You can talk to me about anything. You know that right?"She sigh and nodded her head. "Yeah. I was just thinking about my parents again." She confessed. "I just wish I could get some answers Aaron. Does that sound stupid?"Aaron was the only person that she told about her past. He was so understanding and he never judged her. When she had told him, he sat and listened the entire story. When she was finished, he had gotten up from where he was sitting and hugged her saying that he was sorry that she had to go through all that.Aaron put down

  The wind picked up pace and the hot summer sun beat down on the ground as Imogene Baker walked to work. She hung her head low to block out its intense glare and prayed that she'll reach to work soon.Every day it was like this. Walking the few block from her apartment to work. She really didn't mind the walk at all, because most days it gave her time to think. But on hot days where it seems like the sun was angry at her, she wished she had a car.At last, she reached the coffee shop where she works. She was half an hour early as she was every morning. Richard, the shop owner was not here most of the time, so he gave all his employees keys, so they could open up when he wasn't here or would be coming in late.The door was already open now and she figured Aaron was already here. He was the first one here most days. Thankful for some reprieve from the sun, she pulled open the door with a sigh. The small bell over the door sounded announcing her entrance.
