Veronica finally remembered why she was wearing it and why she came to the town. She took it off with her shaky hands. "I'm sorry, I took it mistakenly."
"I know," he replied.
In the morning, when he saw her running away, he called her from behind as he noticed that his locket got stuck to her skirt. However, she didn't heed his words. Moreover, upon hearing his voice, she ran even faster. He couldn't chase after her because he was naked.
He walked forward and tried to pick up the locket from her hand; but couldn't. She was gripping the locket tightly. He raised his left eyebrow in surprise noticing her tight grip on the locket.
Noticing that she had no desire to let it go, he opened his mouth, "Even if you fancy this, I cannot let you have it. It's not something that a kid like you should be coveting."
"Umm…" she sounded as if she agreed but she still didn't let go for some reason.
