Presenting her necklace
She regained some of her hope that this man would be able to tell her more about her own vintage necklace because of the lovely and antique jewelry pieces. “This belonged to my grandmother,” she said as she approached the counter and placed the jewelry box in front of the man. I would like to get it appraised.”
He was impressed
While remaining silent, the man removed the small jewelry box from the counter. In the reflection of the shiny necklace, Sarah could see his pupils dilating as he opened the box. He maintained a firm poker face, clearly making an effort to mask his true emotions. Sarah, however, was aware of the man’s profound admiration.
