“I—It’s just a small thing.” My face grew hot. “But I want you to have it. If you’d like it.” I passed Jugs the little fabric parcel, watching anxiously as he unwrapped it and revealed a single hoop earring studded with a tiny, deep blue jewel. “It… it was the first earring I ever wore. My first piercing.” I touched my lobe and smiled up at him uncertainly. “Mama got it for me.”
Ohmygod. That’s so precious and sweet. 🥺
