When she rang the bell I released the lock and she stepped in and said, "Please, will you buy this." I was handed a small brown packet and inside was a nice sliver bracelet. It was heavy, made in Italy and weighed out at 51.5 of .925 Sterling, a vintage piece. She was all of twenty, slight and well worn.
She wiggled in place as I looked the piece over. Then, "I'll even throw in a kiss."
I'm a sucker for silver.
I gave her a price and she squealed with delight and before I could move she planted a nice wet one on me.
Think I'll keep it.
Some days are like that...
(Keep this between us.)
