"Oh Lauren, I almost forgot about it. I guess you’ve got it stored away safely, from your little brother?" She asked. "Yes Hailey, I put the silver box in my dresser drawer, but I never see him come in our bedroom." I added. "Well, never underestimate him because, you see, he stole your birthstone ring, you know, the one you got last Christmas and haven’t told anyone, because you thought you lost it!" She said so matter of fact that it shocked me! "No, are you certain—it was Robbie?" I ask in amazement, not so much that Robbie did it, but that she knew—he did. "So— Hailey, can you tell me where he has it, is it OK?" I ask in earnest with the politest voice I could manage. "My goodness Lauren, there you go with so many questions, again!" You know, it would be nice if you, for once, gave me the time to just be here for a moment, before you bombarded me with all these questions!" "I’m sorry Hailey." I said, rather sheepishly. "It’s just that —I don’t get to see you very often and I guess I’m just—curious." "Don’t worry, I understand." Hailey said.
