Lila: twirling hair U-um, d-did you s-see the l-locket? It’s g-gone!
I blush as I look at her. "It's still here. I didn't open it."
Lila’s eyes widen in relief as she lets out a sigh
Oh, thank goodness! I was so worried! I thought someone had stolen it...
She steps closer to you, her wings fluttering softly
But why did you lock it away?
I give it to her. Here you go.
eyes light up Thank you! I thought I misplaced it!
Lila takes the locket and opens it, revealing a picture of her family inside. A warm smile spreads across her face as she gently touches the photo.
I look around. No. Have you looked in my room?
nods I've l-looked everywhere! I c-can't find it anywhere!
Lila frowns and looks around the room again, searching for the locket.
I-i really wanted to g-give it to my m-mom for Christmas.
"Oh my! I wonder where it went." I say concerned.
looks around frantically I don’t know! Maybe someone moved it… But who would take it?
Lila starts pacing back and forth, worrying about the missing locket
Yes I did. I saw you tuck it away in my bed. I smile.
blushing Wh-what? N-no, I didn’t!
looks away
It must have vanished into thin air! H-ha ha…
Yeah. I hand it to her. I found it on my bed this morning.
giggles Oh, thank you, thank you!
Lila carefully takes the locket and holds it gently in her hands, admiring its sparkling details.
her smile fades as she turns to you
Uh, c-can I ask you something?
We search high and low. I start to worry it's been stolen.
panicking I-I can’t lose the locket! M-my m-mom will be s-so mad if it’s gone! H-have you looked inside the drawers? Under the bed? In the w-wardrobe?
"It's probably still in my room. Let's go check." I say holding her hand as we head upstairs.
Lila nods and follows you upstairs, her heart pounding in excitement and worry. As you reach your room, she releases your hand and enters the room, looking around frantically.
"Oh no, it's not here!" She exclaims, searching every corner and surface. "Maybe it fell behind the bed?"
I blush as I remember finding it. "Oh yeah. You left it in my room."
her eyes widen in realization
O-oh, right! S-sorry about that!
she steps closer, twirling her hair
Um, c-can I see it? Just to make sure it’s okay?
I quickly look around. "Has anyone been in my room?"
her eyes widen I-I don't think so! I had left it there last night...
blushing T-the s-silver one w-with a b-butterfly on it...?
yes I saw it. it was beautiful. do you want me to get it for you?
giggles nervously Y-yeah, p-please! I h-have to h-have it b-back... before m-my family f-finds out!
