My back leaned against the wall. My decision was to spend the night in Everett's room.
I just thought that his mother might come back and wanted to prevent anything from happening.
After some time, the necklace whispered to me.
"Wow, you are so good with kids!"
My hand scratched the back of my head.
"Am I?"
The necklace trembled.
"Yeah! I thought it was just a fluke when my child was more attached to you than me. Now, I realize that it might just be some sort of charm you have."
My head tilted to the side.
"Haha, I never thought about that. Maybe it's because I am still a kid."
The necklace trembled.
"Eh? How long have you been alive?"
My face twitched.
"I... don't know. I still feel like a kid though."
The necklace laughed.
"Ok just tell me a general number."
A soft chuckle came from me.
"I hardly have any memories of my past. How am I supposed to know?"
Shock was apparent in the necklace's voice.
"What? How did you deal with that?"
My head tilted to the side.
