STELLA’s POV
“I’m sorry dear, but I don’t think you lost it.” Maxine shook her head in disbelief. “You gave the other pair to Tyler and it’s funny that I found it inside the trash can in our bedroom.” And then she laughed. “So, it means you’re nothing to him but trash.”
I felt like the thunder was being struck at me in the middle of bright daylight. Everything around me seemed to stop. The people around me, froze.
“W-what...?” I stuttered.
All this time, Tyler had my earring? Why didn’t he tell me? I told him he should tell me if he found it. He knew how important that earring was to me. It was a gift from my late mother.
I still remembered how he had asked me about this the last time we talked at the beach inside his car.
