Angelica gazed fixedly at Rose's face, then exclaimed, "Your eyes... you look just like her!" Miles had said her eyes resembled someone else's the other day, too. Knowing now that Angelica meant her mother, she beamed happily, feeling closely affectionate to the older woman. Angelica told Rose all about her mother, and then handed her an old box. Inside was a large chunk of raw fire opal.
"Your mother left this behind decades ago. Take it. I have no use for it anyway." Rose was stunned. She could use this opal to craft a necklace for the jewelry-design competition. It was a beautiful specimen and would surely make heads turn But then again her mother had left this behind, and now that Angelica had given it to her, Rose couldn't just take it without giving anything in return.

"Your mother truly was blessed with talent and luck, you know that?" Angelica suddenly said 'S incredibly e lucky it was unbearable. As for you, those eyes of yours do nothing but remindof her wretched presence!" Dizziness swept over Rose.
