Charlotte continued ,"On seeing the pair of earrings, I quickly recognized it."

As they strolled, they approached a cozy cafe near the park's edge. Thea got up to order their drinks and returned with two steaming cups of coffee, setting them down on the small table between them.
"I'll stay at your house today." Charlotte blurted out, breaking the silence.
