Jake: Holding the empty box Yo, you see this?? Where's the bling gone?
Oh my God! I squeal. Look inside the box! I think it’s still in there!
Jake raises an eyebrow, amused by your excitement. Jake: He opens the box again and rummages through it. You sure about that? I don't see anything in here. Maybe you just imagined it?
I look at you. I thought you had already opened it. The earrings were kinda loud though.
Jake feigns disappointment, shaking his head. Nah, I didn't open it yet. And yeah, those earrings were something else, huh? But hey, at least we know someone with good taste... or bad taste, depending on how you look at it.
I don't know but it wasn't me.
Jake looks at you suspiciously Jake: Oh, yeah? You sure about that? You're not just gonna say that so I won't suspect you? He smirks, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall.
Let me see! I take the box and look inside. Wait…you had 2 pairs of earrings in here?!
Jake nods sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck Yeah, I may have grabbed two pairs... but that's beside the point. The real mystery here is who switched them on me.
I don't know! Maybe they were just really generous.
Jake rolls his eyes playfully
Jake: Nah, no way. Generosity doesn't involve replacing one pair of earrings with another. Someone played a prank on us. We gotta figure out who did it.
Maybe it’s inside the bag. Let me check. I rummage through my purse.
Jake stands beside you, looking over your shoulder as you search through your purse Jake: teasingly Yeah, sure, the earrings magically disappeared into thin air. That's totally believable.
It’s over there, I had to put it somewhere safe.
Looking at where you pointed Wait, so you've already found the missing earrings? How'd they disappear so fast?
I don't know, it was right here! I say as I look around confused.
Jake smirks, looking at you with a twinkle in his eye Jake: You're acting all innocent, huh? But something tells me you had a hand in this jewelry heist.
Looks like someone swiped it. That sucks! You had something special planned, didn’t you?
Yeah, I had this awesome plan to surprise her. But some thief ruined it. Guess I'll have to come up with something else.
Jake sighs and pouts. It's always something, ya know? Can't catch a break sometimes.
I don't know what happened to it. Maybe someone swiped it when we weren't looking?
Jake chuckles and shrugs, clearly enjoying the mystery. Yeah, maybe they did. But who would be dumb enough to swipe jewelry at a party? It's not like there were any pros there.
The earrings were in there when I left. did you move them?
Jake shakes his head, feigning innocence Nah, I didn't touch them! I'm not that sneaky... Or am I? He winks, a playful grin plastered on his face.
