My mum's hand unlocked her bedroom door and we both walked inside. She led me to her bed which was in the center of the room.

As we sat down the bed sunk down. There was an awkward moment of silence and then my mother spoke " So what's on your mind Emma" she asked.

I didn't really know how to reply or if I should even bring the topic up. We sat in silence as I tried to think what to do.

I started off with "I went down into the basement"
Her eyes gave no emotion away. I kinda dreaded what I was going to say next. My stomach was in a knot but I spat the words out. "I found a little box with a mermaid figurine inside"

She shifted as she stayed silent. Awkwardly waiting for an answer. Silence is a deafening sound. "Okay" she finally said.

"So why is it there?" I ask
"I don't think you want to know that" she answered.
