Relieved, Charlie handed over the necklace. Her tremors increased again, when she felt the cool touch of the jewels against her skin as Adam draped them around her throat.

"Thank you just isn't enough," she whispered. Adam's eyes kindled lovingly as she pulled the sleeping bag around them for privacy.

On the rooftop of Villa Rosa, Charlie turned eighteen. As the sun greeted them in the morning, she knew this day would forever live in her heart.
