She thought the hairpin was just a simple, everyday gift, far less valuable than the casual necklace Keira had once gifted as a token of goodwill. Little did she know, the hairpin held more value than the necklace which Keira, possessing many such necklaces, could easily hand out. Morwenna had been waiting for a while when the receptionist kindly offered her a glass of juice, which tasted refreshingly delightful. Suddenly the lobby fell eerily silent. Lifting her head, Morwenna’s eyes sparkled as she saw Stuart had atrived. She noticed that whenever Stuart appeared, the room would always hush. Clutching the lunchbox, Morwenna stood up and cheerfully called out, “Stuart!” Her voice, loud in the quiet hall, echoed like a thunderclap, drawing the attention of everyone present.
