the necklace ~ luke hemmings au

while I'm waiting I hear a little girl about 10 behind me. what's she doing in a store like this? she's probably with that lady who walked in earlier.

"that's an interesting necklace", she said with a small voice.

I smiled down at her, "it is isn't it?"

she smiled back and asked, "how did you get it?"

i turn all the way around, face her, and bend down to her height, "well a little reindeer decided to stop by and lend me a gift"

she saw through the fake story and said, "you shouldn't lie", she keeps talking, "because sooner or later the one you love is going to ask and would you lie then?"
